Excellence in the Reporting of Social Issues Award Lee Rainie (Pew Research Centers Internet & American Life Project) The Award for Excellence in the Reporting of Social Issues honors individuals for their promotion of sociological findings and a broader vision of sociology. The ASA would like to recognize the contributions of those who have been especially effective in disseminating sociological perspectives and research. The ASA is cognizant of the fact that there are many professionals (e.g., journalists, filmmakers) whose job it is to translate and interpret a wide range of information, including sociological perspectives and research, for the general public. - See more at: http://www.asanet.org/footnotes/feb14/asa_awards_0214.html#sthash.FSHDGmPs.T... The award will be presented at the ASA annual meeting mid-August in SFO.
