The award recognizes a correspondent who personifies journalistic excellence, integrity, perseverance, and other qualities demonstrated by Aldo Beckman, a former award-winning correspondent with the Chicago Tribune and former White House Correspondents\u2019 Association President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m honored to have the opportunity to serve as the 2026 Chair of the Aldo Beckman Awards Committee,\u201d said Wilson, Dean of Hampton University\u2019s Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications. \u201cJournalistic coverage of the White House will be the primary criterion judges use to determine who receives the award. They can also recognize an outstanding young reporter, a reporter who has exhibited repeated excellence in covering the White House or a journalist who personifies the human qualities of Aldo Beckman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competition for the award is open to all journalists who cover the White House on a regular basis or whose reporting is primarily devoted to coverage of the Presidency. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. EST on <strong>Friday<\/strong>, February 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAldo Beckman was known for his journalistic excellence and personal character,\u201d said Steven Thomma, Executive Director of the WHCA and himself a winner of the Beckman award. \u201cThe award recognizes a body of work produced by a journalist over the course of a year using a range of journalistic skills and tools to illuminate the President and the Presidency. These can include in-depth reporting, skilled use of data, and clear writing and presentation on topics including presidential decision making, management of the White House and executive branch, the national political landscape as it relates to presidential politics, governing, and other issues,\u201d said Thomma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Hampton University students, Jade AbuBakr and Christian Fluellen, co-producers of Hampton University\u2019s WHOV-TV and journalism majors in the Scripps Howard School, will receive $12,000 in scholarship awards and attend the black-tie dinner along with Dean Wilson. The students will showcase their projects and be spotlighted along with other students from esteemed journalism programs who are enrolled at leading colleges and universities from across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 White House Correspondents\u2019 Association Dinner will be held on April 25, 2026, at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. Held annually, the dinner is the primary fundraiser for the WHCA to support journalism scholarships, awards for excellence in reporting and programs to educate the public about the importance of the First Amendment and free press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Hampton University Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hampton University Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications is committed to preparing its students with a high-quality and well-rounded education for global careers in journalism and strategic communications.
