Скачать или смотреть BuzzFeed News Accepts Polk Award For Health Reporting (April 2023)

Long Island University (LIU) has announced the winners of the George Polk Awards in 15 categories for reporting in 2022, citing three recipients for coverage of the war in Ukraine.

George Polk Award winners also unmasked the false underpinnings of a crypto currency empire; disrupted a private equity giant’s plan to glean huge profits from homes for disabled patients; examined lethal plundering of the Amazon rainforest; detailed the use of hapless migrants to help a governor score political points; revealed allegations of irregularities in a prominent university president’s scientific research; highlighted a growing prosecutorial tool that lacked scientific basis, and published the leak of a controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling on abortion.

Kendall Taggart, John Templon, Anthony Cormier and Jason Leopold of BuzzFeed News have won the Health Reporting award for demonstrating how the quality of care diminished after the global private equity firm KKR purchased hundreds of homes for people with severe disabilities. When publication of their series, “Profit, Pain, and Private Equity,” caught the eye of regulators and legislators, KKR cancelled a planned initial public offering.
