InSight Crime traveled to New York to receive the Maria Moors Cabot Prize, which recognizes 15 years of work in deepening the understanding of organized crime and its impact on the Americas.
This prestigious award, given by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, highlights the work of journalists and media outlets for career excellence and coverage of the Western Hemisphere that fosters inter-American understanding.
We are honored to receive this award, which highlights our coverage of the Americas. Behind every story, we publish is an extraordinary team of people who make it all happen: from the logistics of field trips to research and editing, design and dissemination. We also take this opportunity to acknowledge the important relationship we have cultivated for more than 15 years with our sources, field collaborators, and media partners, whose contributions have been invaluable to our investigative work.
Steven Dudley and Jeremy McDermott created what is now InSight Crime with a clear mission: to deepen and elevate the debate on organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, that goal is more significant than ever, as criminal networks become increasingly sophisticated and global, and the violence they wield affects every single person living in the region. With this recognition, InSight Crime feels a renewed determination to continue going to the most affected places to produce reports, analysis, research, and policy suggestions on how to address the multiple challenges that organized crime presents to the continent.
