Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression
NCA Awards for Outstanding Scholarship
The Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression was originally established as the Herbert A. Wichelns Freedom of Speech Award in 1976. The name was changed to the Haiman Award in 1988 and to the Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression in 1990. The Franklyn S. Haiman Award for Distinguished Scholarship in Freedom of Expression became an association-wide NCA award in 1992, and is presented to an NCA member who has authored outstanding published research on freedom of expression. Although the award is an annual award, it may be given to authors of scholarship published over the prior three years. The date of copyright of the published material shall serve as the date of publication.
