John Sutter, the inaugural Ted Turner Visiting Professor of Environmental Media at George Washington University, has been selected as the winner of the 2023 Sharon Begley Award for Science Reporting.
The Sharon Begley Award was established in 2021 by the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing to recognize and support reporting and writing that embodies the high standards exemplified by the late science journalist Sharon Begley. The judges hailed Sutter’s work as “topnotch video storytelling, compassionate, authoritative, ambitious, very engaging, sometimes surprising.” Sutter is an independent journalist and documentary filmmaker. His work has been supported by MIT, Harvard, National Geographic and the National Science Foundation.
