The MOLLY National Journalism Prize is awarded annually by the Texas Democracy Foundation dba ''The Texas Observer''. The award is intended to recognize superior journalism in the tradition of Molly Ivins. ==Description== The award, presented annually since 2008, is given for an article or series of up to four short, related articles or columns telling the stories that need telling, challenging conventional wisdom, focusing on civil liberties and/or social justice, and embodying the intelligence, deep thinking and/or passionate wit that marked Ivin's work. The MOLLY Prize and two Honorable Mentions are then presented at an awards dinner, generally in Austin, Texas, keynoted by a special guest. The prize is a $5,000 award and two Honorable Mentions who receive $1,000 each. Past keynote speakers have included Dan Rather, Ellen Goodman, Paul Krugman, Seymour Hersh, John Quiñones, and Gail Collins. The deadline for entries from the previous calendar year is typically in March and the submissions are screened by journalists from the Board of Advisors, which governs the conducting of the award. Finalists and winners are determined by an annually selected Executive Committee of the Board of Advisors. The 2013 MOLLY National Journalism Prize was awarded to Sarah Stillman of The New Yorker for her article (“The Throwaways,” ) which addresses the use and abuse of juvenile drug offenders as confidential informants by law enforcement officers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MOLLY National Journalism Prize」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
