The judges wrote, “Excellently planned, researched, documented, reported and written with key findings highlighted throughout. The compelling personal stories of patients give life to the numbers.”
Finalists were Bloomberg News for “Sign Here to Lose Everything” and Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting, PRX, Associated Press and PBS NewsHour for “Kept Out.”
