The 2016 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Public Service<br />

Finalist: InsideClimate News<br />

For a probe into a major oil company's decades-long misinformation campaign to muddy<br />

the debate over climate change.<br />

InsideClimate News' Exxon: I'he Road Not Taken [1] series was named a finalist [2] on Monday for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.<br />

The gold medal [3] winner of the Public Service award, the most prestigious in American journalism, was the Associated Press, which was<br />

honored for Seafood from Slaves [4], an expose that uncovered the use of slave labor in the seafood industry in Asia. The Tampa Bay<br />

Times was a second finalist named in the category.<br />

The ICN series describes how Exxon conducted cutting-edge climate research decades ago and later pivoted to the forefront of climate<br />

denial, manufacturing doubt about the scientific consensus that its own scientists had confirmed.<br />

The stories were written by a team of ICN reporters—Neela Banerjee, John H. Cushman Jr., David Hasemyer and Lisa Song—after an<br />

eight-month investigation which included reviewing hundreds of documents, many from Exxon's own files.<br />

The work had already won five prestigious journalism awards: The National Press Foundation's Stokes Award for energy reporting;<br />

finalist for the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Journalism; the Izzy Award for Excellence by Independent Media; the Scripps Howard<br />

Award for Environmental Reporting; and a Society for American Business Editors and Writers award for best investigation by a digital<br />

news site.<br />
