One journalist per year is chosen for the John Chancellor Award for Excellence in Journalism, given out by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

This year, that honor goes to PBS NewsHour co-anchor/managing editor and Washington Week moderator/managing editor Gwen Ifill, selected by a panel that included CU J-School dean and New Yorker staff writer Steve Coll, dean emeritus/New Yorker staff writer Nicholas Lemann, Race Card Project founder and former NPR All Things Considered host Michele Norris, and former NBC News evp Bill Wheatley.
