RECIPIENT: Nick Schifrin, Philip Maravilla and Ben Mulkey
AFFILIATION: Al Jazeera America
HONORED WORK: “Conflict in Gaza”
The reporting of Nick Schifrin and his crew from Gaza for Al Jazeera America distinguished itself in a field crowded with excellence. It offered a seamless shifting of perspective from both sides of the border; empathy shown by reports from, in some cases, the living rooms of the ordinary people caught in the crossfire; and brevity and wit in writing.
