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, our annual Awards have celebrated those dedicated to creating a society that values every member. This cherished tradition is not only our signature fundraiser but also the highlight social event of the year. We’re thrilled to share the excitement and anticipation for our 2024 celebration – stay tuned for what’s in store!
