It is presented annually to a journalist or a group of journalists for a news story or series in any medium, except books, that makes information about the Earth and space sciences accessible and interesting to the general public.
The Perlman Award, first presented in 2000, was named in honor of the distinguished former science editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.
