Deadline: April 30, 2023

Applications for the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing (CASW) Sharon Begley Science Reporting Award 2023 are now open. The award, given annually, recognises and supports reporting and writing that embodies the high standards exemplified by Sharon Begley (1956–2021), a science journalist of unflinching dedication, skill, moral clarity, and commitment to mentoring.

This award is intended for science, health, and environmental journalists whose careers and work embody the extraordinary qualities of Sharon Begley’s journalism, which was known for:

  • depth, especially scientific depth
    • writing that helps the reader understand science
    • precision and care in explaining scientific evidence
  • authority
  • approachability, humor, and respect for the reader
  • exhaustive reporting; careful, thorough sourcing
  • powerful, vivid, clear, humane writing and masterful storytelling
  • fearless pursuit of truth
  • myth-busting and ground-breaking reporting
  • insight
