The “caught,” reported by Lisa Grass and Peter Modhos won the category of health and science. Judges have called it an unusual package about the health effects of such chemicals used in the fields of industry -driven scientific analysis in the EPA and in the fields of form workers. “
“The project was influenced by pesticides reform supporters who were fighting the separate and unequal rules proposed by California pesticides regulators.” “Basically, the rules state that people who lived near the fields treated with 1,3-D can be dramatically exposed to the chemicals caused by this cancer, as the state health scientists say is safe. Most people who are close to 1,3-D-D-treated fields are clear.
“It was a heavy elevator, which used state data on the use of pesticides, in addition to the use of pesticides, in addition to the school fields and nearby agricultural sectors, so that the possible exposure to children at the school,” said Elodhos, said Eldhos, a data reporter based in San Francisco. “In doing so, we provided a means for which local communities are seeking.”
The “cashout” reported by Katie Winter and Nicholas Cosnetz won the category of energy, stability and climate change. In this regard, a widespread environmental and human rights results of a small -leading international mediation system were investigated, which facilitates companies to do business outside their country so that they can win heavy fines on efforts and taxpayers.
“When I thought about the series, I knew that the system was widely criticized in legal circles,” said Surma, a lawyer in trade litigation before joining the ICN. “But it was strange to cover how powerful the rights of multinational corporations are, especially when the rights of communities and people have an impact on their actions.”
“Without any failure, when I told people about the system when they were surprised and allowed to exist,” Cosnitz said, who first learned about the settlement of investors’ state dispute through the oil and gas industry. “Very few people have heard about it, yet its effects reach the lives of citizens around the world. We wanted to illuminate this system of readers and to highlight what meant for those who indicate claims.
In a partnership with the assembly, the climate news was reported inside Lisa Surg “Gas Lighting,” won the category of this feature. The judges said, “The eye-opening series paints a clear picture of the state that expands the natural gas infrastructure alarmingly,” the judges said, even with the destruction of climate change, the same state-North Carolina.
“I was staying in ICN in just a month when I started the project in just a month,” said Surg, a journalist, from the NC News Line to 2024. “It started with a question: What is the emotional tool on people living near the pipeline, power plant or liquid natural gas facility? Where does they get the power to fight these projects? I am grateful to those who opened their hearts to me and entrusted me with their stories.
The “politically charged,” reported by Marian Laval and Dan Gyrino won the economy category. The series reviewed the growing political business of power vehicles in the 2024 elections. Journalists “document the importance of EVs for the US economy with skill and why they do not have the authority (or should not be) is a political issue, the judges said.
“Although it is clear that the world is moving towards the EV, it is also clear that the emotions of vehicles in the United States have been divided on the country’s political error lines,” said Lavel, who is the ICN’s Washington, DC, Bureau Chief. “And emotions are important because cars are not just practical purchases. Who are we about the car we choose? The places I visited were to run this house, so to talk, South Carolina, which is benefiting from new EVs and battery factories, but is skeptical about this technology, and Mexico, where China is offering cool and affordable EVs that are leaving us in dust.
A reporter based in Ohio, who covers the energy, said, “The conversation I will remember with this project is with the hard working people whose general understanding of EV stands as the opposite, the way its products have been politicized.” “I am especially thinking of a car salesman in the River Elk in Minnesota, which is so good that I wanted to buy the same at the time, and a battery plant worker made by a pastor near Young Stown, Ohio, who said he was ‘father of work’.
Giaryno also received a honorable mention for his newsletter within clean energy. Judges have written that it is “insightful to the important issues that make up the future transfer, with a well -researched analysis, beyond its weight.”
