The Metcalf Diversity in the Media Award, organized by RICJ, was established in 1988 to posthumously honor Michael Metcalf, publisher of The Providence Journal. The Metcalf is Rhode Island's premier award recognizing journalists and media that do an exemplary job of showcasing the diversity of our region through stories that inspire and engage the public.

Since 1953, annual Awards have honored those who help create a society that values ALL its members. It's our annual fundraiser and our social event of the year. Our last in-person event was 2019 due to COVID.... but look for our exciting 2021 plans soon!
