The New York Post was honored for its stellar coverage of the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last December by the New York Press Club Monday. The shocking crime
allegedly carried out by Ivy League-educated Luigi Mangione gained international attention instantly – with The Post’s leading the way on breaking numerous stories. The Post, which was
founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801 and is the oldest continuously published newspaper in the US, won for crime reporting in the New York City metro area under the newspaper category. The
staffers involved included Joe Marino, Larry Celona, Jack Morphet, Reuven Fenton, Kate Sheehy and Matt Troutman, as well as several editors and photographers. EXPLORE MORE “The Post’s
local crime coverage is our bread and butter and always a must-read,” said Editor-in-Chief Keith Poole. “We are honored to be recognized for our outstanding reporting on one of the biggest
stories of the year.” The Post’s coverage became a must-read in the first days of the major news event about Mangione and the hunt for the accused assassin, and continues to be a go-to
publication in the months since. The New York Press Club is a non-profit association dedicated to journalist and media staffers. Dozens of other outlets and reporters received awards for
their work over the past year.
