Kansas foundation honors AP president

The William Allen White Foundation is honoring Tom Curley, president and chief executive officer of The Associated Press, with the foundation’s national citation. Curley will receive the award in a public ceremony at 1:30 p.m. today in Woodruff Auditorium.

Curley was also previously the president and publisher of USA Today and senior vice president of Gannett Co. Inc., which publishes 100 daily newspapers in the United States.

Tom Eblen, foundation chairman, said Curley was chosen by board members of the foundation, who think he’s doing significant work in journalism.

“We look for someone with a national reputation and the reputation is understood here as well as elsewhere,” Eblen said.
