She won in the category “Outstanding International Reporting Award” for her reporting in The Washington Post (“India-Pakistan conflict: From the line of control to the corridors of power”)
The judges’ comments said: “We applaud the reporter’s initiative to go to the remote areas and speak to the families who were directly impacted by the crossfire of war. The voices and lesser-reported facts were highly compelling. The rare access, combined with the empathetic approach and engaging style from start to finish makes this our top pick.”
