History
editThe New York chapter of the American Newspaper Guild established the Page One Awards. A committee was formed to recognize excellence in public affairs, journalism, books, science, theater, motion pictures, musical comedy, popular music, and sports.[1] The award was presented at the union's annual Page One Ball,[2] which began in the mid-1930s.
Over the years, the Guild presented Bill Gallo with 20 Page One Awards,[3] the largest number awarded to a single recipient.
