The Des Moines Register, Des Moines, Iowa

Honorable Mention

From the Judges: “Captivating and gut-wrenching ... The Register did an amazing job of conveying the destruction and emotion with this interactive package.”

In May, a tornado ripped through a community in Iowa. The Des Moines Register created a house-by-house color-coded mapping to chronicle the path of destruction and its human impact. The map includes before and after photography of homes, aerial photos, text stories, videos of survivors and uses a variety of surveillance camera footage and cell phone video. The package is breath-taking and chilling.
