AWARDS

I’ve worked with and learned from some incredibly tenacious journalists.

Together, our investigative work has won accolades and exposed corruption.

 

The Implant Files, NBC News

This year-long investigation was executed by a team of more than 250 journalists in 36 countries. NBC News joined the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists to expose dangerous faults in the global medical device industry. We compared device malfunction reports and recalls between countries, lobbying records and device classification data to illustrate how medical device companies use unwitting patients as test subjects for poorly regulated breast implants, spinal stimulators, hip and shoulder replacements, and other devices. In the U.S. alone, nearly 83,000 deaths and more than 1.7 million injuries were linked to medical devices over the last decade. Read more about the investigation’s impact.

Lost on the Frontline, The Guardian and Kaiser Health News

This project profiles thousands of U.S. health care workers who died of Covid-19 after contracting the coronavirus at work. We tracked data on race, location and job title to tease out disparities that weren’t being captured by CDC data. These numbers inspired 60 investigative and news stories published by both The Guardian and KHN.

The Maternity Divide, NYCity News Service

Between 2014 and 2016, obstetrics-related deaths and injuries increased by 65 percent in New York State. We investigated why that is in New York City, from high-risk hospitals that predominantly care for women of color, to prenatal care wait time, and which communities are most affected.
