But one constant has endured and even thrived: intrepid, courageous reporters committed to doing whatever it takes\u2014even at risk of their own life and liberty\u2014to uncover matters of critical importance to an informed public and the very foundation of democratic society.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the only major American journalism prize that has always honored work across all media platforms, the Polk Awards has consistently been at the fore of the changing ways we access news and information.
