What are journalists' responsibilities and why?" Prizes will be awarded to "young writers" (ages 18-25) and to professional writers, £500 and £1,000 respectively, plus posting of the winning essays. There is no entry fee indicated. Deadline: October 15, 2008. Check the Web site for more information.
