The Mirror Awards, handed out today by the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, honored journalistic work including investigations by the New York Times, New Yorker and Washington Post that focused on Harvey Weinstein and Charlie Rose.
The lunchtime awards gala at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street, which also featured special honors for National Public Radio, HBO’s Sheila Nevins and 60 Minutes, put a spotlight on the still-evolving arena of the #MeToo movement. Media companies are grappling with overhauling the cultures of their companies even while covering the industry’s errant ways.
One award recipient in particular gave a speech that drew some cheers and sustained murmurs throughout the cavernous, 98-year-old former Bowery Bank building. Irin Carmon, a Washington Post writer who was cited along with Amy Brittain for Best Story on Sexual Misconduct in the Media Industry, aimed to put the events of 2017 and 2018 in a broader context.
