Five recipients of the 2023 George Polk Awards, announced today by Long Island University, were for coverage of the Israel/Gaza and Russia/Ukraine wars in a year when the university is marking the 75th anniversary of one of American journalism's prized honors.
A global team of Reuters journalists was honored in the business reporting category for reports about Musk companies SpaceX, Tesla and Neuralink. The series of scoops and investigations exposed a mounting toll of worker injuries and one death at rocket builder SpaceX and mistreatment of laboratory animals at Neuralink, Musk’s brain-implant company. Other stories found that Tesla, the electric-car pioneer, covered up dangerous defects in steering and suspension parts; rigged its cars’ in-dash driving-range estimates; invaded drivers’ privacy by sharing sensitive images recorded by their vehicles; and made Tesla Insurance customers wait months for claim payouts.
