'Four Post staffers win Polk journalism awards'

"Four members of The Washington Post staff won George Polk journalism awards for work published last year, it was announced Sunday.

The award for political reporting went to David A. Fahrenthold for articles he wrote during the presidential campaign about activities that Donald Trump had tried to keep from public view.

Fahrenthold was cited for a “dogged pursuit” of Trump that led to a year-long string of articles offering a picture “that Trump had long sought to keep secret.”

In announcing the 68th annual Polk awards, Long Island University said that Fahrenthold unmasked “deceptive and illegal charitable activities” on the part of Trump’s foundation.

The university said that Fahrenthold’s work also led to “a blockbuster — the existence of a video” in which Trump “bragged about sexually assaulting women.” It shaped political discourse for days, the university added." WP

Well done, Mr. Fahrenthold. Well done.
