Morton Margolin Prize for Distinguished Business Reporting

The Morton Margolin Prize for Distinguished Business Reporting was an award for reporting in business journalism published in a Colorado newspaper or magazine. It was awarded between 1980-2008 by the University of Denver Daniels College of Business and the University's Department of Media, Film and Journalism Studies (formerly part of the School of Communication).

The Margolin Family Distinguished Lecture was established at the University of Denver in 2015 to honor the legacy of Morton Margolin. The lecture introduces university students and the broader community to journalists and news influencers who are utilizing journalism and media to inform and to bring about positive change on issues of concern to young people.
