Boston Globe Media's Remarkable Award Wins

Boston Globe Media has recently celebrated a series of prestigious awards that highlight its commitment to high-quality journalism. These accolades span various brands within its media portfolio, including The Boston Globe, STAT, and Boston magazine, showcasing a wide range of impactful stories and commitments to journalistic integrity.

In a statement, Linda Henry, CEO of Boston Globe Media, expressed her pride in the organization's teams for their dedication to storytelling and accountability in today's critical media landscape. The recognition received not only underscores the commitment of these journalists to serve their community but also aims to set a benchmark for excellence in journalism across the nation.

Among the recent highlights, The Boston Globe garnered three New England Emmy® Awards, particularly noted for their innovative video journalism. One of the winning entries, “Anxious? Lonely? Disconnected? Blame the post-pandemic 'human doom loop'”, directed by Olivia Yarvis and Janelle Nanos, addressed important societal issues, reflecting the newsroom's dedication to impactful storytelling.

Additionally, the examination of pressing news topics earned The Globe an Emmy in the News Promotion category with the piece “Why didn’t anyone stop the Lewiston shooter?” created by Randy Vazquez and Tim Rasmussen, further emphasizing the newsroom's depth and dedication to accountability. Another noteworthy recognition was for a documentary titled "Bearing Witness A Name A Voice," which won an Emmy in the Societal Concerns - Long Form Content category after being produced under the guidance of Linda Henry. This documentary emphasized the value of investigative journalism through personal perspectives shared by former team members.

Furthermore, The Globe's investigative Spotlight team received the Scripps Howard Journalism Award for Best-in-the-Nation Business/Financial reporting due to their thorough investigation into Steward Health Care. This award recognized how they utilized various media formats including visual and audio elements to present their findings, which are considered among the country's top journalism honors. Notably, the team also achieved finalist placements in two categories: Local/Regional Investigative Reporting and Distinguished Service to the First Amendment. This marks the second consecutive year the Spotlight team has been acknowledged at the Scripps Howard awards, showcasing their ongoing commitment to quality journalism.

The health-focused outlet STAT also achieved remarkable success with two Scripps Howard Journalism Awards, demonstrating excellence in National/International Investigative Reporting with their piece “Health Care's Colossus.” The report was praised for its investigative depth, combining traditional reporting methods with advanced data analysis to uncover how UnitedHealth profited at patients' expense, ultimately contributing to legislative reforms in health care.

Additionally, The B-Side, a new venture within Boston Globe Media, secured first place at the International News Media Association (INMA) Global Media Awards for Best Initiative to Bolster Next-Generation Readership. The initiative centers around an innovative multiplatform strategy aimed at delivering crucial journalism to younger demographics, utilizing channels like daily newsletters and social media.
