Sidney Hillman Award, May 2018
“Will Evans and Alyssa Jeong Perry win the May Sidney Award for “Tesla says its factory is safer. But it left injuries off the books” published by Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting. The exposé sparked a government investigation into Tesla’s injury reporting practices. It also provoked a bizarre Twitter outburst from CEO Elon Musk who dismissed the story as “b.s.” and “propaganda,” prompting analysts to accuse Musk of taking a page from the Trump playbook.”
