Thank you to Harvard’s Shorenstein Center for naming our Lethal Restraint police investigation as one of the semifinalists for the prestigious Goldsmith Prize. Lots of deserving projects on that list. Honored to stand next to them. goldsmithawards.org/announcing-t...

And thanks to the AP News managers who gave us all such unyielding support and encouragement the whole way. @nixonron.bsky.social, Julie Pace, Mary Rajkumar and Jeannie Ohm.

Thrilled for our team and our news partners at Frontline and the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism at Arizona State and U of Maryland.

RTS Television Journalism Awards 2025 The nominations for the RTS Television Journalism Awards 2025, in partnership with Dataminr, have been announced.

Honored that our Lethal Restraint police investigation is a finalist in the Royal Television Society’s inaugural digital journalism category. RTS is behind the UK’s version of the Emmys. To get this nod from across the pond is big and the other finalists are heavy-hitters. rts.org.uk/award/rts-te...

Grateful that our Lethal Restraint police use-of-force investigation was recognized with a special citation in the prestigious Selden Ring journalism awards. Really appreciate what the judges had to say. Honored to be included among the five investigations recognized.

Thrilled to be part of this program’s first class and get started learning from some of the titans in investigative editing. Grateful to @Cronkite_ASU @HowardCenterASU and @IRE_NICAR for sponsoring a way for professionals to continue their education and training.

Appreciate Frontline’s Raney Aronson citing the impact of our Lethal Restraint investigation about police use of force in her year-end review of @frontlinepbs highlights. Collaborating with Frontline made Lethal Restraint such a digital and visual force. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

Thrilled to see that in @AP's Year in Review, our "Lethal Restraint" series ranked No. 2 on the company's list of contest with longest read times and engagement. Important validation of the subject matter and my colleagues' work. @nixonron.bsky.social

Over/under on cutting back on print editions?

Why did more than 1,000 people die after police subdued them with force that isn't meant to kill? Every day, police in the U.S. rely on common use-of-force tactics that, unlike guns, are meant to stop people without killing them.

This story kicked off the series in March and gives a good overview of our findings and example cases we identified. In all, more than 1,000 people died after police used so-called "less lethal force." apnews.com/article/asso...

Our final installment of the yearlong "Lethal Restraint" series is out. We explore how a key part of the system is so riddled with inconsistencies, suspect science and conflicts of interest that the force used by police in civilian deaths may matter little: apnews.com/article/leth...
