In 2023, Opinions writer Heather Long embarked on a series of editorials about how cities can rebuild, revive and repopulate post-covid. The series won the 2024 Loeb Award in commentary, with praise for the “ambitious, imaginative” storytelling and use of “stunning aerial images and bird’s-eye-view maps,” in a team effort coordinated by graphics and multimedia editor Sergio Peçanha. Opinions columnist Catherine Rampell was also a finalist in the category for her “original, astute” columns on the economic challenges – and successes – of American women and families.
