Nieman Fellows in the class of 2019 at Harvard University have selected Marisa Kwiatkowski, an investigative reporter at The Indianapolis Star, for the 2019 Louis M. Lyons Award for Conscience and Integrity in Journalism.
Kwiatkowski was chosen for her years of work exposing shortfalls in systems designed to protect children—in day care settings and in mental health services—as well as her contributions to the team that reported exhaustively about the sexual abuse charges brought against Larry Nassar, formerly the team doctor for USA Gymnastics and a physician at Michigan State University.
