“Democracy doesn’t work without a free and fair press, and we can’t trust institutions to give democracy to us.” – Caitlin Dickerson
Caitlin Dickerson’s “uncompromising, compassionate reporting illuminates the magnitude of America’s ongoing immigration crisis.” – 2023 Silvers-Dudley Prize judges panel
Investigative journalist Caitlin Dickerson has spent more than a decade covering deportation and migration. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 2023 for her reporting on the forcible separation of children from their families at the southwest border. Her work has also earned a Peabody, an Edward R. Murrow award and honors from the National Association of Black Journalists. Deportation, and the threat of it, have affected millions of Americans, including children, over recent decades. A staff writer at The Atlantic and formerly with The New York Times and NPR, Dickerson will illuminate how Immigration and Customs Enforcement carries out its mandate.
