Award Year: 2025
Award Name: The Joe and Laurie Dine Award 2025-2026
Recipients: International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
Affiliation: International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
Honored Work: “China Targets”

The ICIJ investigation is the very definition of high-impact human rights journalism, combining deep, ambitious, and broad reporting with strong narratives from 42 partners across 23 countries. It exposes not just China’s long reach, but also the complicity of local and international organizations in helping to silence China’s critics.
