The National Center on Disability and Journalism (Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Arizona State University) has announced the winners of the 2022 Katherine Schneider Journalism Award for Excellence in Reporting on Disability as well as the inaugural winners of the Gary Corcoran Student Prize for Excellence in Reporting on Disability - the only journalism contests devoted exclusively to the coverage of people with disabilities and disability issues.
The first-place prize in the Schneider Award Large Media category was awarded to Heidi Blake (Tulley’s 2004) and Katie J.M. Baker of BuzzFeed News for their story: “Beyond Britney: Abuse, Exploitation, and Death Inside America’s Guardianship Industry.” Their examination highlighted dangerous flaws in the nation’s guardianship system and unseemly profits for those who take part in it.
Winners will discuss their work during a Nov. 14 event and ceremony in the First Amendment Forum at the Cronkite School in downtown Phoenix. The event also will be live streamed though please note the time difference – Phoenix Arizona is 7 hours behind GMT so it will start at 1am Tuesday 15th November UK time.
