1999 Eugene Katz Award For Excellence in the Coverage of Immigration
The need has never been greater for the Katz Award, now in its third year. Coverage of the important immigration issues over the past year — temporary visas for high-tech workers, long-term detention of undeportable aliens, amnesty for illegal Central Americans, etc. — all too often has been weighed down by treacle and cliche, with little of the discernment and inquisitiveness that marks good journalism.
