Crusading Against Silence:
High Impact Reporting on Invisible Victims
The 2011 Dart Awards recognize searing, in-depth investigations which exposed how important institutions – schools, universities and the military – betray the very people they are supposed to protect: victims of teenage bullying and campus rape, brain-injured soldiers and families left behind by war. Please join us in celebrating the winners and engaging in a conversation on journalism that is both hard-hitting and humane.
Panelists:
Kevin Cullen, Columnist, Boston Globe
Sonya N. Hebert, Photographer, Dallas Morning News
Kristen Lombardi, Reporter, Center for Public Integrity
T. Christian Miller, Reporter, ProPublica
Daniel Zwerdling, Correspondent, NPR
Moderator: Bruce Shapiro, Executive Director, Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma
This event is free and open to the public.
Winners of the the 2011 Dart Awards are The Boston Globe for "A Tormenting Problem: An Exploration of New-Age Bullying"; The Dallas Morning News for "Private Battles"; NPR and the Center for Public Integrity for "Seeking Justice in Campus Rapes"; and NPR and ProPublica for "Brain Wars: How the Military is Failing its Wounded."
Established in 1995, the annual Dart Awards recognize exemplary journalism on the impact of violence, crime, disaster and other traumatic events on individuals, families and communities. The Dart Awards are administered by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, a project of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia.
