Nominations for induction into the Hall of Fame can be submitted to the Press and Media Club at any time.
The list of nominations is distributed to a group of Selectors across Canada, who then vote on the individuals and make their recommendations to the committee chairman.
The Selectors are drawn from the ranks of senior Canadian journalists who are well qualified to judge their peers.
Induction of new Members takes place annually at a banquet in downtown Toronto, where the honourees receive an engraved personal plaque.
[1] An important person who chose honourees was Gordon Donaldson (before his 2001 death), and his choices received some media attention.
