The Stanford Daily has won a 2022 George Polk Award in Journalism, marking the first time in history that an independent, student-run newspaper has won the prestigious award. Theo Baker ’26, Investigations Editor at The Daily, will be honored with a “Special Award” for his investigation into allegations that research co-authored by University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne contained manipulated images.

The Polk is a real-deal big journalism award -- you'd rather win the Pulitzer, of course, but Polk is a fine second-best option. In other words: Baker's stuff here is among the most substantive investigative journalism of the year.
