Thrilled to announce that a project I contributed to has won a prestigious Overseas Press Club award.
Made in America, Watched Worldwide won the Malcolm Forbes and Morton Frank Award for best international business news reporting.
In the project, we exposed how the Chinese government has enlisted American technology companies, including IBM, Oracle and Microsoft, to build what the judges described as “arguably the world’s most repressive technology-based system of citizen surveillance.”
The judges pointed out that systems similar to those we identified in our reporting are now operating in Gaza, Lebanon, Nepal, and even the United States.
