Edward R. Murrow 2016 Award-winner: Our glass desk exploded. Yours could, too.

Friday, July 17, 2026

A decade later, I realize that the work that won the team at Rivet a 2016 national Edward R. Murrow Award for audio investigative reporting hasn’t had a place on this website—or in the Meyerson Interviews podcast series.

This oughtta fix that.

Here’s the entry submission:

2016 Edward R. Murrow Awards

Audio Investigative Reporting
Our glass desk exploded. Yours could, too.
Charlie Meyerson, Jonah Meadows, Elizabeth Giadans, Marc Filippino, George Drake Jr.

ABOUT THIS ENTRY: What would you do if, while you were working overnight, a nearby glass desk just … exploded? When it happened to Rivet’s Jonah Meadows and Elizabeth Giadans, we investigated. What we learned surprised us. Because it happens a lot. (Posted to Rivet Nov. 8, 2015.)
