Scripps Howard Award

2019 - Topic of the Year: Midterm Elections

Judges' comments: "What Vice News did so impressively in its series "She's Running" was document just how hard it is to be a young female candidate running for the first time on her own terms – and winning. Each episode was filled with candid moments that revealed what it takes to run for office. We were impressed by Vice's choice to do this in a non-narrated way, giving the viewer front-row seats to the unfolding drama of this race."
