Hannah Dreier of ProPublica won a Hillman Prize for reporting that showed how the government’s bungled crackdown on MS-13 has torn apart the lives of Latino immigrants. The Atlantic’s Adam Serwer, who has emerged as a defining voice of the Trump era, won for his essays on racism and Trump’s political movement, and Anna Clark won for her book on the Flint water crisis.
This year’s prizes were judged by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, the New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb, Reuters’ Alix Freedman, the New Yorker’s Hendrik Hertzberg, the American Prospect’s Harold Meyerson and The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel.
The 2019 winners of the Hillman Prizes are:
• Newspaper – Miami Herald, Julie K. Brown and Emily Michot: Perversion of Justice
• Magazine – ProPublica with New York magazine, Newsday, This American Life, New York Times Magazine, Hannah Dreier: Trapped in Gangland
• Web – Reuters, Joshua Schneyer, Michael Pell, Andrea Januta, Deborah Nelson: Ambushed at Home
• Broadcast – NBC News and MSNBC, Jacob Soboroff and Julia Ainsley: Torn Apart: Crisis at the Border
• Opinion & Analysis – Adam Serwer, The Atlantic
• Book – Anna Clark: The Poisoned City: Flint's Water and the American Urban Tragedy, Metropolitan Books
Reporting by this year’s prize winners has had significant positive impact, including:
• Reversal of the Trump administration’s “Zero Tolerance” family separation policy
• Three federal investigations, new legislation, widespread repairs, and a $386 million emergency program to inspect military housing for hazards
• The exposure of pervasive bias and negligence by Long Island police, leading to federal and local investigations and reforms
This year’s honorees follow in the trailblazing tradition of past winners ranging from Murray Kempton in 1950 for his articles on labor in the south and Edward R. Murrow in 1954 for his critical reports on civil liberties and Joseph McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare; to 2017 newspaper winner, David Fahrenthold, for exposing Donald Trump’s sexual harassment and mismanagement of his foundation.
The Hillman Prizes are open to journalists and subjects globally for any work widely accessible to a U.S. audience. Winners will be awarded a $5,000 prize at the Hillman Foundation’s annual
