Outstanding Coverage of a Breaking News Story in a News Magazine

Revolution in Cairo: As the protest movement in Egypt sent shock waves throughout the country — and the world — FRONTLINE dispatched teams to Cairo for this special report. (Credits)

Outstanding Investigative Journalism in a News Magazine

The Child Cases: Sudden child deaths are often assumed to be murder, and caregivers are frequently the accused. An investigation by FRONTLINE, ProPublica and NPR found evidence of questionable convictions. (Credits)

A Perfect Terrorist: We teamed up with ProPublica to investigate the mysterious circumstances behind David Headley’s rise from heroin dealer and U.S. government informant to plotter of the 2008 attack on Mumbai. (Credits)
