NLGJA is seeking nominations for the LGBT Journalists Hall of Fame, established in 2005 with the recognition of seven journalists for their commitment, courage and dedication to LGBT issues in the media. Since then, NLGJA has honored a total of 23 journalists in the LGBT community for their resolve to tell the truth, including their own personal truths, at whatever the cost or difficulty.
To submit a nomination, e-mail Bach Polakowski at bach@nlgja.org. Please use the subject line: “Hall of Fame Nomination.” Please include your name, phone number and e-mail address in case members of the committee want to reach you for additional information.
