Judges Comments:
Lise Olsen work exemplifies gutsy journalism. She challenges and holds accountable the respected and powerful -- prosecutors, federal judges, even the governor -- as she stands up for justice for the powerless and disdained -- inmates, youths being tried as adults, even the executed. Her stories are clearly the result of dogged reporting, tireless public-records work, years of experience comined with undiminished curiosity and an acute feel for the larger issues raised by individual news events. In a highly competitive category, Lise Olsen is the star of the stars.
