Thank you George Polk Awards for this incredible honor today!

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the George Polk Awards. The awards were established in 1949 by Long Island University to commemorate George Polk, a CBS correspondent murdered in 1948 while covering the Greek civil war.

The 2023 Sydney Schanberg Prize goes to Jason Motlagh of Rolling Stone for “This Will End in Blood and Ashes,” a vivid account of the virtually complete collapse of order in Haiti.

Masha Gessen has been honored for Commentary for the New Yorker essay “In the Shadow of the Holocaust,” a deeply personal and highly nuanced examination of how Germany and other European nations equate opposition to Israeli policies with anti-Semitism.

The award for Television Reporting goes to VICE News correspondent Julia Steers and producer Amel Guettatfi for “Inside Wagner,” compelling on-the-ground coverage of Russian mercenaries on the Ukraine front and in the Central African Republic.

Meribah Knight of WPLN Nashville, Ken Armstrong of ProPublica and Daniel Guillemette of Serial Productions, The New York Times, won for a Podcast, “The Kids of Rutherford County,” which chronicled the shockingly misguided approach to juvenile discipline by a domineering judge.

Congratulations to Fred Schulte for winning a prestigious George Polk Award for his work on medical devices that malfunction. Well deserved... and it's the second time he's won one @polkawards.

The Photojournalism award goes to Samar Abu Elouf and Yousef Masoud of The New York Times for chronicling Israel’s bombardment and invasion of their homeland, Gaza. They photographed the conflict from its opening hours on 10/7 until they escaped the territory two months later.

Luke Mogelson of the New Yorker has won the Magazine Reporting award for “Two Weeks at the Front in Ukraine.” Circumventing Ukraine’s reluctance to allow reporters on the frontlines, Mogelson embedded with a brigade in the Donbas.

The award for Justice Reporting goes to Brian Howey, a freelance reporter whose exposé on a tawdry police practice was published by the Los Angeles Times and developed into a segment of a podcast by Reveal, The Center for Investigative Reporting.

Michael D. Sallah, Michael Korsh and Evan Robinson-Johnson of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Debbie Cenziper of ProPublica won for “With Every Breath,” a series about a corporate cover-up that allowed Philips Respironics to market breathing machines that contained contaminants.

Anna Werner of CBS News and the KFF Health News team of Brett Kelman, Fred Schulte, Holly K. Hacker and Daniel Chang have won for “When Medical Devices Malfunction,“ which reported on the failure of FDA-approved devices.

The award for Medical Reporting is shared by two entries that exposed the Food & Drug Administration’s failure to properly regulate faulty medical devices, leading to dire consequences.

The staff of Reuters has won the Business Reporting award for penetrating reports on nefarious practices at companies owned by multi-billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
