The Tempus International Awards for Lung Cancer Journalism

London (ots/PRNewswire)

- The Global Lung Cancer Coalition (GLCC) is Excited to Launch the
Tempus Journalism Awards, a Global Initiative to Recognise Excellence
in Lung Cancer Reporting
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both
men and women and every year more than 1.2 million new cases of lung
and bronchial cancer are diagnosed worldwide. Sufferers of lung
cancer are often stigmatised for their disease which is seen as a
'smoker's' disease. Through the Tempus Journalism Award, we aim to
raise the profile of lung cancer in the media, increase worldwide
disease awareness and help remove the stigma associated with the
disease.
The core award categories are:
    - Best Medical Article
    - Best Consumer Article
    - Best Broadcast Piece
The winner of each award category will receive a EUR7000 research
grant to further reporting of the disease, as well as receiving the
chance to speak during Lung Cancer Awareness Month during November
and/or at an international lung cancer congress.
The awards are open to all global media and entries are invited on
all issues relating to lung cancer. The entry must have been
published or broadcast between 1 September 2005 and 1 September 2006.
All entries will be judged by an independent international panel
comprising; the Global Lung Cancer Coalition, leading editors and a
lung cancer specialist. The winners will be announced during Lung
Cancer Awareness Month, November 2006.
