Marking the 22nd group of inductees since the founding of the Hall of Fame in 2005, this year’s honorees are the late Sol Studna; Brian Storm of Los Gatos, Calif.; Laurie Skrivan of St. Louis; Edward McCain of Columbia; Robert Cohen of St. Louis; and Jackie Bell of Columbia.

Photographs from the inductees will be on display during the 4 p.m. ceremony and reception in the Sam B. Cook Hall at the Center for Missouri Studies, the State Historical Society of Missouri’s location in downtown Columbia. These photographs will join the Hall of Fame’s collection of work by previous inductees.

The Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame was founded at the urging of Bill Miller Sr., former publisher of the Washington Missourian newspaper, to recognize outstanding contributors to visual communication with ties to Missouri.
