From Nasdaq:

Reuters staff has won the George Polk Award for their coverage of Elon Musk’s manufacturing operations and its harm to consumers, workers, and laboratory animals. The prestigious Polk Awards honor special achievement in journalism, particularly for investigative reporting in the public interest. Reuters journalists were honored for their reports about Musk companies SpaceX, Tesla TSLA.O, and Neuralink. The series revealed a mounting toll of worker injuries and death at SpaceX, mistreatment of animals at Neuralink, dangerous defects in Tesla cars, privacy invasion, and delayed insurance claims for Tesla customers. The reports sparked investigations in the US and Europe, calls for action from lawmakers, and class-action lawsuits.

The exclusive reports sparked investigations, calls for action from lawmakers, class-action lawsuits, and a federal probe into whether Tesla manipulated driving-range estimates. Other news organizations recognized with a Polk Award this year included ProPublica and the New York Times.
