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.[ 1]
