Priest/Hull Win Worth Bingham Prize

The 40th annual Worth Bingham Prize will be awarded to Dana Priest and Anne Hull of The Washington Post for their series, “The Other Walter Reed” and “Walter Reed and Beyond” which ran from February through December, 2007. The award will be presented in at NPF’s 25th Annual Awards Dinner on February 28, 2008.

Hull and Priest spent four months visiting wounded veterans of the war in Iraq without the knowledge of officials at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, uncovering horrific stories of neglect, substandard conditions, and an uncaring bureaucracy.
