Geosciences in the Media Award BACKGROUND
The Geosciences in the Media Award is given to a person in recognition of notable journalistic achievement in any medium which contributes to public understanding of geology, energy resources, or the technology of oil and gas exploration. Granting of this award in any year is discretionary. The award is a walnut plaque bearing the words “For notable journalistic achievement in communications contibuting to public understanding of geology.” The award was inaugurated in 1972 by Executive Committee action. In 2006 the name of the award was changed by Executive Committee action from the “Journalism Award” to the “Geosciences in the Media Award.”
