What are the Lung Cancer Journalism Awards?
The Lung Cancer Journalism Awards was first launched by the Global Lung Cancer Coalition (GLCC) in May 2006 to recognise excellence in lung cancer reporting.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women, with more than 1.2 million new cases of lung and bronchial cancer worldwide every year.1 Sufferers of lung cancer are often stigmatised for their disease which is seen as a 'smoker's' disease, whereas in fact, 20 percent of those with lung cancer have never smoked.2
The Lung Cancer Journalism Awards present a unique opportunity for journalists to demonstrate their expertise and knowledge of lung cancer through accurate and thought-provoking reporting.
New format for 2009
The format regarding the Awards has changed, member countries are now hosting their own awards in conjunction with the Global Lung Cancer Coalition, to find out if your country is taking part or for further information please contact glcc@roycastle.org
