In honor of my colleague Josh Kovner, who died today, I& #39;m going to highlight some of his finest work. I& #39;ll start with this beautiful story about an 11-year-old boy with autism: http://projects.courant.com/raising-child-autism/">https://projects.courant.com/raising-c...
Also, this deep dive into the dark world of Sandy Hook school shooter Adam Lanza, as revealed by more than a thousand pages of documents the Courant fought hard to expose: https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-news-sandy-hook-lanza-new-documents-20181204-story.html">https://www.courant.com/news/conn...
Josh and colleague @alainegriffin collaborated on a humane portrait of Lanza& #39;s first victim, his mother Nancy, in a documentary produced by @frontlinepbs https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/raising-adam-lanza/">https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/fron...
Josh was a tireless advocate for children in state custody and worked relentlessly to ensure that they weren& #39;t denied justice, as this story about the death of an intellectually disabled teen shows : https://www.nydailynews.com/hc-news-stunning-lapses-by-dcf-in-matthew-tirado-starvation-death-1212-story.html">https://www.nydailynews.com/hc-news-s...
Josh was a gutsy reporter who always looked out for society& #39;s most vulnerable, whether that was people with mental illness, children in foster care, or people with intellectual disabilities. He wasn& #39;t afraid to confront the powerful and he got results: https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-abuse-neglect-developmentally-disabled-investigation-20160524-story.html?fbclid=IwAR3Xia7m3CPPW2jr0CMjFlsUw0S3AWtXf905myrRudR--LILeD6ainI-aoI">https://www.courant.com/news/conn...
Josh was part of the Courant& #39;s Pulitzer-winning team that covered the 1998 lottery shootings. His portrait of one of the victims was so moving: https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/staff-42">https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/s...
