The Georgia Newspaper Hall of Fame recognizes newspaper editors and publishers of the U.S. state of Georgia for their significant achievements or contributions.
A permanent exhibit of the honorees is maintained at the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication in Athens, Georgia.
[1] The Hall of Fame was founded in 1931[2] and the first inductee was the school's namesake Henry W. Grady, honored with a bust created by artist Steffen Thomas.
[3][1] Additional honorees have been added periodically at the annual convention of the Georgia Press Association, which solicits nominations for the honor.
[1] Nominees must "have rendered outstanding services in the field of newspaper journalism" and can only be nominated three years after they have died.
