innovative ways."
The Impact Award winner is chosen from the winners of the other
11 categories and select finalists. Last year's Impact Award
recipient – The New York Times'
Hannah Dreier – brought attention to
the United States' failure to keep
children out of unsafe working conditions and how young immigrants
end up illegally working dangerous jobs. The impact of Dreier's
work has been felt across the country at national and state levels.
Within days of the first piece being released, the White House
began an immediate child labor crackdown.
