Institute Honors Journalists Because Bubble Baths Won't Pay
In a stunning display of collective enthusiasm, the Institute for Nonprofit News teamed up with the Online News Association and the LGBTQ+ marketers formerly known as journalists — the NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists — to hand out honors. While the article conveniently forgets exact dates, dollars, or controversies (they’re clearly saving those for a sequel), we can safely confirm that somewhere, someone got recognized for not being boring. This triumvirate of acronyms appears to appreciate journalistic feats that neither pay rent nor improve coffee quality, yet somehow earn applause and badges of official respect.

Everyone loves honors from organizations with assiduously long names because apparently 'Thanks for showing up' needed a sponsor. Who knew bureaucratic badges were the new currency of success?
Awarding journalists is the nonprofit equivalent of participation trophies, except with more letters in the organization’s names and less shelf space.
If every nonprofit honor came with a cash prize, we’d all finally understand what journalism really pays — in abbreviations and vague accolades.
