AP's Feller, Washington Post's Jaffe Win Gerald Ford Awards

Associated Press White House correspondent Ben Feller won the Gerald Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. The award recognizes that he broke news that Obama had chosen to nominate Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court and for quickly filing stories that gave insight into the president’s character. Feller joined the AP in January 2003.

Greg Jaffe, who reports on the military for The Washington Post, won the prize for National Defense for his reporting from the battlefields of Afghanistan.
