Prizewinning Blogger

Massive props to Marcy “Izzy” Wheeler for winning the prestigious Hillman Prize. Nobody deserves it more. She’s like a cat — she goes deep into the weeds and sees things that humans just can’t see. And she proves that you don’t actually need to cultivate “sources” or spend your time palling around with politicos and pundits to do real journalism. Indeed, she proves that if journalists spent a little bit more time reading documents and a little less time getting spun they’d get to the truth a lot more easily.

Huzzah to one of our own for finally getting the recognition she deserves.
