The Grantham Prize is making a difference in newsrooms.

Winning the Grantham Prize was tremendously gratifying and of course hugely encouraging of my writing on the environment. With all those powerful interests stacked against conservation and sustainability, it makes a very nice change to have such heavyweights as the Granthams on the environmental side of the argument.

The stunning thing about the Grantham Prize is that it rewards bold reporting on hidden yet critical environmental issues. In an era characterized by strident opinion backed by little research and less understanding, that makes the prize not only counter-cultural but visionary.
