New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute has compiled its list of the top 10 works of journalism of the decade 2000-9. The list, which unsurprisingly has a US bias, was whittled down from 80 nominees.
Our purpose was to call attention to and honour work of exceptional importance and quality – journalism that brilliantly met the challenges of this difficult decade.
Top of this inspiring poll is the New York Times’ ‘A Nation Challenged’, a special section published in 2001 looking into the local, national and international impact of the 11 September attacks.
