Neil de Mause

We're into transparency, even in our prizes.

At an evening that honored the best journalism on everything from celebrities and sports to war and scandal, City Limits was honored Thursday to take home two honors from the NY Press Club.

Abigail Savitch-Lew, Kate Pastor, Neil de Mause and Adi Talwar represented an even larger cast of reporters and photographers who helped our 2015 housing reporting win the award for best Continuing Coverage-Internet.

And Ben Hattem won one of the signature honors of the night: The Nellie Bly Award for an up-and-coming reporter, which he earned with his investigation of forced medication at Bellevue Hospital. Sarah Blustain, who edited Ben’s work at the Investigative Fund of The Nation Institute, also deserves a large measure of credit for that great story.
