The Citi Journalistic Excellence Award 2015

Citi today announced the launch of Citi Journalistic Excellence Award (CJEA), for the first time in India. The program recognizes outstanding business reporting across the globe in the countries Citi operates in, to further support and advance quality journalism. Each country’s winner is provided the opportunity to attend a rigorous 8-day business and financial seminar in New York City, administered by the prestigious Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Since CJEA’s inception in 1982, more than 300 talented journalists from over 100 media outlets in close to 40 countries have enhanced their professional development through participation in the study seminar. Journalists in India may enter CJEA by submitting an article of at least 750-words, published within the 2014 calendar year.

The winner will be announced in March and the study seminar will be held between June 1 and June 10, 2015, in New York City. Selected journalists under the CJEA program will assemble in New York for the opportunity to participate in sessions with leading Columbia University faculty members, engage in discussions with senior academicians and policy makers, and visit key financial institutions and U.S. Government departments.
