Three Podcasts Among Winners Of 2020 duPont-Columbia University Awards

2020 Winners

COLUMBIA JOURNALISM SCHOOL has announced the winners of the 2020 ALFRED I. DUPONT-COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AWARDS for journalism, and the three audio awards all went to podcasts. The winners include MSNBC and RACHEL MADDOW's "BAG MAN", MICHIGAN RADIO and NPR's "BELIEVED," and AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA's "IN THE DARK." Eight of the awards went to public media outlets, six of those to PBS.

“This important work is all coming at a time of increased mistrust in powerful institutions,” said former NBC NEWS executive CHERYL GOULD, Jury Chair for the awards. "Journalists are playing a critical role in holding the powerful accountable, and we are proud to honor these DUPONT winners for their commitment.”

“That three separate reports on sexual abuse would win in one year is significant,” said DUPONT-COLUMBIA Director LISA R. COHEN. “The wide range of coverage -- local, national and international -- on a topic so long hidden from view tells us we are truly in the midst of a reckoning.”
