Judges: “This group of stories addressed discrimination against families in the rental market and the impact of climate change on Boston’s waterfront properties. Gorey provides both the broad strokes and intimate touches that bring these stories to life. Informative and alarming.”

Judges said, "Gorey’s work is impressive and wide-ranging – from economic analysis to reader service stories that give homeowners valuable and actionable advice. His deftly written and deeply reported stories most often appear in the Boston Globe. Gorey shines most with his unique angles on mundane topics, such as his story about home tax breaks and how they have shaped architectural trends over the centuries. He writes conversationally and with humor when appropriate, such as in his stories and blog posts about do-it-yourself projects in old homes – including his."
