Livingston Awards finalists announced

The Wallace House Center for Journalists and the University of Michigan have announced the 2023 Livingston Awards finalists in local, national and international reporting. The awards support young journalists and honor the best reporting and storytelling by journalists under age 35 across all forms of journalism. The finalist selections were chosen from more than 450 entries for work released in 2022. This year's winners will be announced June 13 at an in-person awards ceremony hosted by Anna Quindlen, with a special tribute to Ken Auletta, author, political columnist for the New York Daily News and media critic for The New Yorker, for his enduring commitment to the Livingston Awards and the careers of young journalists. "This year's finalists and the issues they pursued affirm the commitment of young reporters to tackle the toughest of stories,” said Lynette Clemetson, director of the awards and the Wallace House Center for Journalists. "The breathtaking range of this exceptional work demonstrates the unique ability of journalism to make us stop, take notice, bear witness and expect accountability. Celebrating its 42nd year, the awards bolster the work of young reporters, create the next generation of journalism leaders and mentors, and advance civic engagement around powerful storytelling.
