KARE, Tegna’s Minneapolis NBC affiliate, won an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for investigative reporting. It was recognized for investigative reporting in three pieces.

The Insane Benefit: Minnesota’s Secret Sex Offenders, a local investigation which revealed a legal loophole that allowed Minnesota judges and prosecutors to grant select sex offenders a special status to make their criminal record secret.

Double Billing the Badge, which revealed law enforcement agencies across Minnesota were over- or double-charged for equipment on police vehicles, wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars of state taxpayer money.

Invisible Wounds: Treatment and Reform, a four-part investigative series that revealed the Department of Veterans Affairs was using unqualified doctors and inadequate tests to improperly deny veterans benefits and access to promised healthcare.

As a result of KARE’s award-winning investigative reporting for Invisible Wounds: Treatment and Reform, VA officials publicly acknowledged there was a “systematic national problem” reaching all 50 states and compelled the federal agency to offer new traumatic brain injury evaluations to all misdiagnosed veterans nationwide.
