It's a great honor. The war continues to spiral. At the heart of our coverage are those Sudanese who helped us, or shared their stories, in the worst of circumstances.
Our Sudan investigations have won the Polk Award for War Reporting. I worked with many brilliant colleagues at
@nytimes.com, and this award is important acknowledgement of a tragic and often overlooked conflict. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/b...
