Excellence in the Reporting of Social Issues Award

Lee Rainie (Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project)

The Award for Excellence in the Reporting of Social Issues honors
individuals for their promotion of sociological findings and a broader
vision of sociology. The ASA would like to recognize the contributions of
those who have been especially effective in disseminating sociological
perspectives and research. The ASA is cognizant of the fact that there are
many professionals (e.g., journalists, filmmakers) whose job it is to
translate and interpret a wide range of information, including
sociological perspectives and research, for the general public.

The award will be presented at the ASA annual meeting mid-August in SFO.
