The Hinrich Foundation Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade recognizes exemplary journalism that illuminates and advances the public’s understanding of international business and trade.

The award is open to any professional journalist whose work exemplifies the highest standards of journalism and is published by a reputable news organization. This includes print, broadcast and digital journalists.

This award carries a US$10,000 prize. Award winners participate in NPF’s annual awards event. The jury for this award is comprised of three distinguished journalists.

Last year's Hinrich award winners were David J. Lynch, Carol Leonnig, Josh Dawsey and Jeff Stein of The Washington Post for stories that brought to light the complexities of doing business in China in 2020. Learn more about their entries here.
