Award-winning reports reached > 29 million readers/viewers via partnerships with commercial news organizations, and led to additional media investigations, government actions, and corporate concessions. Among reporting:• World Bank fund that spent > $3.5 billion on education in the world’s poorest nations, but produced little in the way of literacy or improved skills in math;• Tough look at sexual exploitation and assault by UN forces in Haiti, and the children they left behind;• Uncovered hidden dangers of pesticide spraying, which incited manufacturer to pay $105M settlement and clean up 1,000 water districts;• A 50-state investigation into deaths of mentally disabled adults killed by use of restraints: it found that 9 out of 24 deaths that occurred in the last 15 years were ruled homicides. Criminal charges were pressed in only one case.Founding board member of Double Exposure: Investigative Film Festival & Symposium, a program of 100Reporters, which brought approximately 1,000 journalists, filmmakers and the public together for a multi-day event of screenings, lectures and discussions, and opened with Spotlight (9/2015).
