Drum Award winner

Itโ€™s awards season, and DeSmog is getting in on the act.

We are delighted to announce that we won Best Specialist News Site at this yearโ€™s The Drum Online Media Awards!

The prize is recognition for all of the DeSmog teamโ€™s hard work over the past 12 months, bringing you groundbreaking investigations on the crossover between climate science denial and COVID denial, pesticide companiesโ€™ greenwash, and transport groupsโ€™ lobbying against clean air regulation, as well as for investigating over more than a year a radioactive fracking waste disposal site in Texas, obtaining exclusive documents alleging ExxonMobil’s overvaluation of its assets, and unpacking the legacy of white supremacy in the fossil fuel industry.

Itโ€™s a wonderful way to mark our 15th anniversary and this new chapter in DeSmogโ€™s story, as our new website allows us to bring our work to new audiences around the world and commit to reporting and investigations with a much-needed global perspective.

Of course, we couldnโ€™t do any of this without our readers, whose loyalty and passion for combatting the climate crisis provides inspiration on a daily basis. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for reading.

If youโ€™d like to support our award-winning journalism, hereโ€™s how you make a regular or one-off donation.
