Health Reporting Wins Big Award

A leading health news site has earned a top journalism prize for its coverage of the changes in federal health policy under the last U. S. president. The award highlighted stories that traced how the Food and Drug Administration was reshaped, how scientific research funding shifted, and what these moves meant for everyday people’s health. The award went to a reporter who spent months following the agency’s new leadership and documenting the ripple effects on drug approvals, clinical trials, and public health guidance. The recognition also honored a series of long‑form pieces that unpacked the broader impact on medical science and patient care. This marks the fourth time the outlet has been honored in a five‑year span, underscoring its reputation for thorough investigation and collaborative reporting. Other recent winners include a team that uncovered how a major pharmaceutical company used an unconventional channel to secure approval for a controversial Alzheimer’s treatment, and another group that revealed how a large health insurer leveraged its network to grow profits.The organization’s editor praised the work, noting that it aligns with their mission to provide clear, unbiased news during turbulent times.
