State Journalism Hall of Fame nominations sought
Nominations are being sought for the 52nd annual induction ceremony for the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame.
The 52nd induction is scheduled April 28, 2022, at the University of Central Oklahoma, which serves as the host for the hall of fame.
A 10-member selection committee composed mostly of hall of fame members will select the next class of up to 10 inductees and a Lifetime Achievement Award honoree.
Journalists or journalism educators are chosen for recognition each year from among those who have made outstanding contributions to the field for at least 10 years. They must either be Oklahoma natives or have worked in or made contributions to Oklahoma journalism for several years.
Those wanting to submit nominations for the 2022 class must do so by going to the “Nomination Form” on the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame website at www.okjournalismhalloffame.com. The form can be found by going to “How to Submit a Nomination” and “Selection Process” at the bottom of the main page.
All nominations must include a date of birth, place of birth, phone, email address and regular address, nearest living relatives, and a date of death if the nominee is deceased. The nomination also must include a detailed list of accomplishments that qualify the nominee for the hall of fame as well as a biography or resume of the nominee and a photo. The nominator’s phone number and email address also must be included.
A nomination is required for selection. Because of the large number of nominations now on file, many are not selected the first year. Nominations are held for at least 10 years before another nomination is required.
