New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute has named Adam Willis, a city government reporter for the Baltimore Banner, the winner of its ninth Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award.

Willis will use the grant to pursue a story about solutions to climate change in the American Midwest.

The Carter Journalism Institute established the award in the fall of 2014 to commemorate the life and work of journalist Matthew Power (1974-2014). Given annually and funded by more than 650 separate donations, it provides $12,500 to an early-career journalist researching an important story that illuminates the human condition.

“We’re thrilled to have found a winner as deserving as Adam Willis,” said Journalism Professor Ted Conover, a friend of Power’s. “He told the judges that he learned about the award from the bio line of a story in the New York Times Magazine by Ben Mauk, our runner-up in 2018. So good work can propagate more good work. We’re proud to be able to carry on the memory of Matthew Power this way.”
