The Bob Considine Award

Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Karen DeYoung, Bob Woodward

This series of pieces about how the Obama administration searched for a new strategy in Afghanistan included strong on-the-ground reporting, smart analysis and a great scoop in obtaining an advance copy of Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s assessment of the war. Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Karen de Young and Bob Woodward contributed in different ways, from Kabul and Washington, to a brilliantly executed interpretation of evolving policy decisions and military strategy on what was one of the most important international stories of the year.
