Edgar A. Poe Award

The Edgar A. Poe Memorial Award was a prize for journalistic excellence that was awarded by the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA). The prize, which paid $2,500 in 2011, was funded by the New Orleans Times-Picayune and Newhouse Newspapers in honor of the distinguished correspondent Edgar Allen Poe (1906–1998),[1] a former WHCA president unrelated to the American fiction writer of the nearly identical name.[2][3]

The award, which honored excellence in news coverage of subjects and events of significant national or regional importance to the American people,[4] was presented from 1990 to 2019 at the annual dinner of the WHCA[1] (when it was discontinued in place of two new awards).[5]
