AP reporters win award for trade coverage

Paul Wiseman, Joe McDonald and Anne D’Innocenzio of The Associated Press have won the National Press Foundation’s inaugural Hinrich Foundation Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade.

The reporters will receive the award at NPF’s annual journalism awards dinner on Thursday, Feb. 13. More details on the dinner, and other award winners, can be seen here.

NPF judges said: “The AP series offers a big-picture historical look at America’s trade history and the factors driving the trade disputes. The reporters cut through the political rhetoric and dug beneath the headlines to effectively explain the realities of trade on a granular level. The writing is colorful, lively and admirably clear.”

These are the three AP stories:
“In trade wars of 200 years ago, the pirates were Americans”
“Countertops and rubberbands: US pursues obscure trade cases”
“Facing Trump tariffs, some companies, move, change or wait”

Judges for this award were Rick Dunham, co-director of Global Business Journalism at Tsinghua University in Beijing; Elaine Kurtenbach, Asia business editor for The Associated Press; Sudeep Reddy, managing editor of Politico; and Jerry Seib, executive Washington editor of The Wall Street Journal.

The Hinrich Foundation Award for Distinguished Reporting on Trade was established this year to encourage exemplary journalism that advances the understanding of international trade. The award carries a $10,000 prize.
