Pulitzer Center grantees Ben Taub and Daniella Zalcman are among the winners of the 2017 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards.
Taub was recognized in the "Print - International" category for "The Assad Files," an investigative work in The New Yorker chronicling a team of international investigators who smuggled secret Assad regime files documenting torture and other war crimes out of Syria.
Zalcman was honored in the "Photography - International" category for "Signs of Your Identity," a unique photography project that uses double-exposed portraits to examine the legacy of Canada's forced residential school system for First Nations people.
The Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards honor outstanding reporting on issues that reflect Robert Kennedy's concerns, including human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action in the United States and around the world. Winning entries provide insights into the causes, conditions, and remedies of human rights violations and injustice, and critical analyses of relevant policies, programs, individual actions, and private endeavors that foster positive change. The Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Awards are among the few in which winners are determined by their peers.
