AWARD NAME: The Malcolm Forbes Award 2000
AWARD RECIPIENT: Joe Stephens, Deborah Nelson, Mary Pat Flaherty, Karen DeYoung, John Pomfret, Sharon LaFraniere, Doug Struck
AWARD RECIPIENT AFFILIATION: The Washington Post
AWARD HONORED WORK: “The Body Hunters”
This series on the testing of pharmaceuticals on often unsuspecting foreign subjects stands out for its startling reporting, informative graphics, and heart-rending photography. The Post team went beyond the usual examinations of globalization to focus on an industry that is subject to far less journalistic scrutiny than such typical targets as autos, textiles, electronics, and media.
