      Mark Twain Award to Ruben Salazar

      The California Press Foundation’s Mark Twain Award for Journalism Excellence in California this year will honor the late Ruben Salazar, pictured, the Los Angeles Times columnist and former reporter whose groundbreaking work shed light on the struggles of Mexican Americans in Los Angeles. He died in 1970 when a tear-gas projectile struck him during the National Chicano Moratorium March against the Vietnam War on Aug. 29, 1970, in East Los Angeles.

      This award, presented since 2010, honors those from the writerly world: editors, writers, cartoonists whose journalistic work, either regional or statewide in nature, challenged the status quo. Nominees may have rendered service anytime from the beginning of newspapering in California to the present time.

      The 146th Annual Cal Press Winter Meeting will be held in person on Friday, Dec. 1 at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Berkeley. Cal Press membership is free and donations are encouraged.
