- Contributors – David Barstow, Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner
- Judges’ Comments – “Trump taxes” was a superior example of great reporting in the realms of public records, private documents and interviewing hard-to-find subjects on an extremely competitive topic, the president’s finances. Follow-up stories showed the impact of the stories and provided additional context. The story was accompanied by inventive graphics and interviews with tenants who were the victims of unlawful rent hikes.
