CalMatters’ Digital Democracy has been awarded the Punch Sulzberger Prize for Journalism Innovation in the national Poynter Journalism Prizes.
The honor, for “California’s Fentanyl Fight,” is a powerful pairing of the rich Digital Democracy government-transparency database and produced in partnership with Julie Watts of CBS News. Julie’s story focused on advocates for fentanyl legislation who were upset to learn through Digital Democracy that their bills died when legislators declined to vote.
