Since 1957, the Texas Medical Association has been recognizing excellence in health journalism annually through its Anson Jones, MD, Awards. Print, broadcast, and online journalists are recognized in 10 categories, including the Texas Health Journalist of the Year. A physician journalist also is recognized. The award is named after pioneer physician, statesman, and prolific writer Anson Jones, MD, perhaps best known as the last president of the Republic of Texas.
Members of TMA’s Council on Health Promotion judge the competition, along with respected journalists who hail from the news publishing and broadcast fields. Stories are judged on accuracy, significance, quality, public interest, and impact. This year’s awards were presented by TMA physicians at local ceremonies during the spring and summer months.
