AWARD YEAR: 2022
AWARD NAME: The Hal Boyle Award 2022
RECIPIENT: Mstyslav Chernov, Evgeniy Maloletka, Vasilisa Stepanenko, Lori Hinnant and AP Staff
AFFILIATION: The Associated Press
HONORED WORK: “Erasing Mariupol”

Even in a year that featured some of this generation’s most compelling and essential war correspondence from the frontlines in Ukraine, the judges felt The Associated Press’s coverage of the siege of Mariupol stood apart both for its bravery and its impact. The AP team bore witness to atrocities that would have otherwise gone untold, acts that shocked the international community and put paid to Russian propaganda aimed at convincing global opinion of the Kremlin’s good intentions. In the view of the judges, the AP’s coverage was courageous, harrowing and indispensable, and serves as a model of what war reporting should aim to achieve.
