The Wall Street Journal series on backdating of stock options, which two months ago received a Pulitzer Prize, as well as the Louisville Courier-Journal’s examination of safety of coal mines are among the winners of the 2007 National Press Club Awards.
James Carroll of the Courier-Journal won the Washington Correspondence Award for his articles on coal mine safety. Carroll used databases and shoeleather reporting to examine unpaid fines levied on mines by federal safety regulators. His stories prompted Congress to give the Mine Safety and Health Administration new powers to collect fines.
The Journal team of Charles Forelle, James Bandler, Mark Maremont and Steve Stecklow won the Consumer Journalism Award for its series exploring the abuses of stock options in pay packages for corporate executives.
