The Deadline Club is pleased to announce the revival of the New York Journalism Hall of Fame. Established in 1975 to celebrate The Club’s golden anniversary, we continued the tradition through 2000, electing 89 notable journalists in all. Past recipients of this lifetime achievement award include iconic New York journalists such as Barbara Walters, Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Pete Hamill, Gloria Steinem and Liz Smith. The tradition will be renewed in a luncheon ceremony at Sardi’s Restaurant on Nov. 14.

This event is sold out.

All eight of the new honorees plan to be on hand to receive their Hall of Fame medals and speak about their remarkable careers. Between them they have accrued more than 350 years of journalism experience, written and edited dozens of books, and received scores of prestigious prizes—including Pulitzers, Emmys, National Magazine Awards and Gerald Loeb Awards.
