HONORED WORK: “The China Price”

The judges felt that the reporting and interpretation in this piece was outstanding. It was wide-ranging, richly-detailed and crammed with telling anecdotes. The conclusion: American manufacturers – even when fine-tuning productivity in highly-mechanized plants – may not be able to compete with Chinese companies. An outstanding look at perhaps the world’s most important business story of this year.
