The Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School is proud to announce the six finalists for the 2022 Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting. The Goldsmith Prize, founded in 1991 and funded by a gift from the Greenfield Foundation, honors the best public service investigative journalism that has made an impact on local, state, or federal public policy or the practice of politics in the United States. Finalists receive $10,000, and the winner – to be announced at a virtual ceremony on April 5 – receives $25,000. All prize monies go to the journalist or team that produced the reporting.

“Every day, we are reminded of journalism’s essential role protecting communities, empowering citizens and holding the powerful accountable,” said Nancy Gibbs, director of the Shorenstein Center. “Even as many newsrooms face unprecedented challenges, this year’s Goldsmith Prize finalists represent the very best in Public Interest Journalism.”

The 2022 Goldsmith Prize winner will be announced at the awards ceremony in Cambridge (and livestreamed online) on April 5. Read on to learn more about this year’s honorees, and visit GoldsmithAwards.org to learn more.
