The Newswomen's Club of New York honors excellence in journalism each year through its Front Page Awards. We call for entries from newswomen based in the New York metropolitan area who are working in print, photography, television, radio, wires, magazines, and online media. The Front Page Awards also honors exceptional achievement with its Ida B. Wells Award honoring exceptional coverage on communities of color, "Foreign Correspondent of the Year," "Journalist of the Year," and "Lifetime Achievement" awards. Established in 1937-38, the Front Page Awards are among the most prestigious in journalism. They are particularly meaningful because they are judged by ranking media professionals.
Front Page Awards Winners Honored at the 2025 Newswomen’s Club Gala at the New York Athletic Club
During a year in which the news cycle feels both relentless and consequential, New York area newswomen continued to help the public make sense of a rapidly shifting world. This year’s honorees exemplify clarity, tenacity and accountability across some of the most urgent and complex stories of 2025 — from Elon Musk's wide-ranging influence to the impact of artificial intelligence on policing and education to the war in Gaza.
The 88th annual Front Page Awards paid tribute to these exceptional newswomen at local, regional and national outlets across the New York metropolitan area. Here is the full list of winners.
