The Mimi Award
The Mimi Award was created to honor the memory of Providence Journal editor Mimi Burkhardt, who died unexpectedly in December 2004. Burkhardt inspired those around her to live up to high ideals and to produce solid journalism with heart. The award recognizes editors who support and encourage excellence, like Mimi did, and who have a keen understanding of how to navigate the emotional landscape of assignments involving tragedy and trauma.
The Mimi Award is presented annually by the Dart Society to recognize distinguished editors in U.S. print, online and wire service media.
