Announcing the 2020 Goldsmith Prize Winner

The Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting

This year’s Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting could not be announced as it normally would be, in front of a packed house at the JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard Kennedy School. We know this was disappointing for so many who looked forward to celebrating the finalists and winner this year. However, our new physically-distanced reality doesn’t mean we can’t still honor their incredible work.

We are excited to today release this video announcement and celebration of this year’s winner and five finalists. Please watch and share widely so we can lift up these exceptional works of investigative journalism.

Join us on Twitter using #GoldsmithAwards to show your appreciation for the finalists, the winner, and the contributions of all investigative journalists who devote their lives to shining a light into dark corners of our world.
