Very happy to see some of our first-ever investigations The Examination recognized as Online News Association finalists 3 times (!) for reporting and collaborating across Africa with multiple partners, including The Museba Project in Cameroon, and in the US with The Washington Post.

It's great the 2 investigations that are finalists in the "explanatory reporting (small newsroom)" category are both about long-simmering, hard to see, hard to report public health crises, stories that don't always make the front page. Public Health Watch + The Examination

Dunno, but I'm gonna bet this is the first time an Australian-Cameroonian-Ghanaian reporting trio has been a finalist for the Loeb Awards. I've spent my career making sure reporters outside the US are recognized for their work so this nomination means a lot. Thanks Gerald Loeb Awards

What a fun gathering of people. I'm so pleased to be among them and so many ICIJ alumni and partners.

1 year since Ben Hallman Asraa Mustufa + others launched a news outlet doing things differently. Long way to go, but I've realized a dream working with Raquel Rutledge + amazing reporters. (And my story is a finalist Gerald Loeb Awards alongside my old employer ICIJ. Kinda cool)

You and saludconlupa.com were an inspiration for our work, Fabiola Torres. Proud to partner with you and looking forward to more!

Namibian journos who’ve done great investigative work, please submit your work. Entries close soon!

Well deserved! I have never met someone else like Scilla Alecci who combines the talents of a leading international journalist with the skills, ethics and emotional necessary for collaborative reporting.

I love a story that mixes science, 19th Century archives + corporate accountability. So when OK International wrote about private equity in the lead chromate industry, I wanted to know more about this chemical and who uses it despite cancer + other risks. theexamination.org/articles/us-pr…

I'm in Kazakhstan so couldn't be at Gerald Loeb Awards. Proud of The Examination, Christian and Emmanuel in Ghana and Cameroon for this nomination. Ian Urbina et al's Outlaw Ocean + Hannah Dreier's series were the best of the best. It's an honor to be among them. Congrats, Hannah!
