Duhigg named Business News Visionary

Charles Duhigg

The 2020-2021 Business News Visionary Awards have recognized Charles Duhigg for his outstanding body of work and influence on the profession.

Duhigg currently serves as a writer for The New Yorker and host of “How To!,” a weekly podcast produced for Slate. He is the author of two global bestselling books: “The Power of Habit” and “Smarter Faster Better.”

In 2013, while a reporter for The New York Times, Duhigg and his colleagues received the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for their articles exposing the darker side of business practices at Apple and other technology companies.

Charles Duhigg combines skillful reporting and voluminous research with a deft storytelling style to ‘show,’ not merely ‘tell,’ readers and listeners how to improve their lives and gain a better understanding of the world around them,” said Dean Rotbart, chair and editor-in-chief of the Business News Visionary Awards.

Duhigg joins other Business News Visionary honorees, including Stephen J. Adler, editor-in-chief, Reuters; Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief, Fast Company; Andrew Ross Sorkin, author, columnist and anchor; Daniel Roth, editor-in-chief, LinkedIn News; Andy Serwer, editor-in-chief, Yahoo Finance; Nina Easton, co-chair of the Fortune Global Forum and Most Powerful Women; Stuart Varney, host, Fox Business Network; Karen Toulon, senior writer, Bloomberg News; David Faber, anchor and documentary producer, CNBC; and Adi Ignatius, editor-in-chief, Harvard Business Review.
