Soros Justice Media Fellow Robin Mejia has won a 2005 Livingston Award for Young Journalists. Mejia, a freelance journalist, was recognized in the national reporting category for Reasonable Doubt: Can Crime Labs Be Trusted? The report aired on "CNN Presents" and demonstrates the fallibility of forensic science in the evaluation of ballistics, fingerprint, and DNA evidence, leading to wrongful criminal convictions.

The Livingston Awards, given to outstanding journalists under the age of 35, are the largest all-media, general-reporting prizes in the United States. The awards are sponsored by the Mollie Parnis Livingston Foundation. For more information, see the Livingston Awards website at www.livawards.org/.
