Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Hillman Prizes. #Hillman26 hillmanfoundation.org/clearitwithsid…

Julie K. Brown garnered a special commendation from the Pulitzers for her groundbreaking reporting on Jeffrey Epstein and his outlandish sweetheart federal plea deal. We honored Julie with a Hillman Prize in 2018 when the story broke. We congratulate her on this new honor!

Wishing you all a productive World Press Freedom Day and looking forward to better days ahead! amnestyusa.org/blog/on-world-…

One thing I would love to communicate to rich progressive donors is you have to fund ACTUAL JOURNALISM. All the progressive "content creators" rely on actual journalism done by journalists who are all getting laid off. Please fund journalism not just "our own kind of propaganda."

It’s an enormous honor to see our work recognized here. I’m so grateful to the Hillman Foundation, and to my colleagues and our sources who made this important work possible.
