Winner – Fortune: Tronc chairman sexual harassment

  • Contributors – Kristen Bellstrom, Beth Kowitt
  • Judges’ Comments – “Breach of Trust” is a deeply reported story that brings to life the devastating #MeToo struggles of two women at the hands of Tronc’s Michael Ferro. The twist here is that the women are high-powered executives in their own right, but they suffer personally and professionally after their encounters with Ferro. This is the sort of steady, clear reporting that should help make sure an executive forever disappears from the public eye. The reporters won the confidence of the women whom Ferro assaulted, then put their stories into a compelling narrative that places the reader in the room.
