Journalism awards

• Public Service:
  • Indianapolis News, for its successful campaign to eliminate waste in city management and to reduce the tax levy.
• Reporting:
  • W. C. Richards, D. D. Martin, J. S. Pooler, F. D. Webb and J. N. W. Sloan of the Detroit Free Press, for their account of the parade of the American Legion during the 1931 convention in Detroit.
  • Honorable mentions to:
    • Frank W. Griffin and Harry E. Kalodner of The Philadelphia Record, for "their series of articles exposing solicitors for charity funds who diverted to themselves a large part of the money collected by use of the Mayor's name. As a result of the exposé, the Mayor's committee was disbanded and an investigation begun by the District Attorney."
    • Harry Bloom and J. Howard Henderson of The Louisville Times, for "their exposé of frauds practiced by County Clerk W. G. Stiglitz on the State and on individual motorists in the collection of motor license taxes. Stiglitz resigned his office five hours after this story was published and less than four months later he began a five-year term in the penitentiary."
