Follow on Google News | Women's eNews Wins Casey Medal For Meritorious JournalismWomen eNews won a Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism for reporting on Infant Formula Lobbying in the US.
By: Women's eNews The report, which was funded by The Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute, was credited as "A meticulous exposé of how industry-sponsored research, lobbying and advertising by infant formula companies have led to a federal government subsidized market for infant formula, despite global consensus on the superior health benefits of breast milk. The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program distributes more than half the infant formula sold in the U.S. but the supply provided to new moms is not enough to feed their babies for a full month. As a result, impoverished mothers bear the burden of high out-of-pocket monthly expenses to feed their growing babies. Judges praised this investigation by Women’s eNews as being “in the best tradition of accountability reporting.” The Casey Medals recognize distinguished coverage of children and families, particularly the disadvantaged.
