“This year’s winning projects show us the power of justice journalism. As an institution that educates fierce advocates for justice, we are proud to highlight their work,” said President Mason.
“Each of these projects shined a bright light on injustice and inequity and sparked calls for action leading to significant policy changes.”

Wilhelm. “Such work is essential to understanding how best to address the challenges our society faces in these important areas.”
