About the Nebraska Journalism Hall of Fame:

The Nebraska Journalism Hall of Fame was implemented in 1973, and honors distinguished journalists who have made significant contributions to print, their communities, the state or the nation.

The Nebraska Press Association and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications sponsor the Hall of Fame. A selection committee of NPA and journalism college representatives select the inductees.
