For decades, E&P’s News Executive of the Year Award has recognized extraordinary leadership at the highest levels of news publishing. “At a time when disruption is constant and journalism’s sustainability is anything but guaranteed, we want to recognize the exceptional executive who turns challenges into opportunities – driving innovation, strengthening the business, protecting journalism, and inspiring others to accomplish what once seemed impossible,” said award organizers. The 2026 winner will be featured on the cover of E&P’s November issue.
