2008 Media Awards
Each June at its Annual Meeting, Mental Health America recognizes excellence in reporting and portrayals of mental health issues from the previous year. Mental Health America encourages media professionals and student journalists to submit national, state, local and student news and feature stories in print, online and broadcast media. Details and entry forms are available by downloading the 2008 Media Awards nomination guide below. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2008.

Members of last year's awards judging committee represent such reputable media outlets as Nation's Health, Cox Newspapers, Voice of America, Channel One and United Press International.
The 2007 award winners included Meg Kissinger of The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Alison Smith of Glamour, Elizabeth Cohen, Jeanne D'Agostino and Victor Neufeld of CNN and Sasha Aslanian and Anne Gudenkauf of American Public Media/National Public Radio.
