In February, @TaraCopp and @marianne_levine exclusively reported the Coast Guard was investigating a swastika found drawn on a wall at a recruit training center in New Jersey. In response, Adm. Kevin Lunday, commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, traveled to Training Center Cape May and held a mandatory meeting with nearly 900 recruits and staff members to address the incident. A delegation of N.J. congressional members wrote to then-DHS Secretary Kristi L. Noem, demanding that swastikas again be classified as hate symbols in the Coast Guard after a 2025 policy change. Following public and congressional backlash, the U.S. Coast Guard quickly reversed the policy change, once again explicitly banning swastikas as prohibited hate symbols. washingtonpost.com/impact

The Post conducted a year-long investigation to quantify for the first time how #measles vaccination rates at schools across the country had declined since the pandemic, including: - a data-rich animation showing county-level decline rates nationwide - a search tool revealing rates in local counties and school communities - the ability for parents to see vaccination rates at their child’s school  (cc @caitlinsgilbert, Joshua Lott, Dylan Moriarty, @LaurenWeberHP) washingtonpost.com/impact

"The Washington Post is showing its work—and there’s a lot more of it than fits beneath a byline," writes @adage, naming "Relentless" one of the top 5 creative campaigns to know about right now. "The work makes a persuasive case that it still has the investigative chops to speak truth to power." adage.com/creativity/campaig…

In April, @TWallack reported on online college programs allowing students to take unlimited courses, leading to quick degrees and concerns about devaluing credentials. In another story on “degree hacking,” he put one of the platforms to the test and clicked his way toward a college degree in a matter of days. He got the attention of that platform, which soon made changes and began blocking students from downloading course materials. washingtonpost.com/impact

"A timely celebration of the power and importance of investigative journalism, this campaign uses a physical newspaper dedicated entirely to everything it took to report, verify, and publish a single investigative story." #Relentless #Since1877 adweek.com/creativity/ads-of…

The @WashingtonPost was first to publish details about ICE's plans to retrofit warehouses into immigrant detention centers. Exclusive reporting by @dmac1 and @jocwapo drove conversation in city halls, county councils and legislatures in more than a dozen states, and was cited by several state attorneys general in lawsuits against the federal government, which has since acknowledged missteps and scaled back its plans. washingtonpost.com/impact

For many Americans, ICE's most visible presence is its officers making public arrests. But a @JohnWoodrowCox story revealed how the agency has targeted people in a less visible way. He wrote about Jon, a Philadelphia retiree who emailed a DHS attorney after reading about the plight of an asylum seeker, urging mercy for the man. Within hours, DHS subpoenaed Jon’s Google account and later sent investigators to his home. washingtonpost.com/impact

In May, The @WashingtonPost reported on the case of a Honduran woman whose 3-year-old son, Orlin, was killed after she was deported. @mariasacchetti’s reporting examined inconsistencies in ICE’s narrative and the lack of safeguards for children of those removed from the country. Days after that report, DHS granted Wendy Hernandez Reyes extraordinary humanitarian parole that allowed her to return to the U.S. to bury her son. washingtonpost.com/impact

“There was an enormous amount of industry collaboration to get that [AI] executive order implemented,” Sean Cairncross, @WhiteHouse National Cyber Director, tells Managing Editor @SpiegelPeter at today’s AI Edge Summit.

In April, The @WashingtonPost won precedent-setting public records litigation that made clear that Maryland law enforcement agencies are required to release the names of officers who use force against citizens. (cc @FOIANate, @kemettler, @stevesthompson) washingtonpost.com/impact
