“I care less about the personal attacks on me and ‘The Left’ than I do about an admission that the NYPD has let ‘Back the Blue’ bumper stickers dictate who gets held accountable for making the streets more dangerous,” she said. “I look forward to being less ‘annoying’ when shock jocks and retired cops with CCRB records are done getting mad about questions of responsibility and fairness.”

It feels surreal to see Streetsblog’s hard work recognized not just as finalists beside outlets like Newsday and ABC, but as award winners. Thank you to the Deadline Club for understanding that the future of news is continuing to meet people where they are, no matter the format, and trusting that this doesn’t mean compromising on the journalism and mission behind what we do. I’m so proud to share this award with Dave Colon, David Meyer, and Sophia Lebowitz, without whom these videos couldn’t exist. Their reporting, and that of the entire Streetsblog staff, is the backbone of our small but mighty video operation, and shows just what a newsroom powered by collaboration is capable of. In the 11 months since I joined the staff, our multi-media strategy has spread Streetsblog’s AWARD WINNING reporting far and wide — occasionally to the point of earning us threats of violence from our critics, including those in power. This recognition by the Deadline Club and the larger Society of Professional Journalists underscore that the work we do matters, and it makes a difference. It might just make all of the death threats worth it.
