Marc Levy’s aggressive and nimble reporting in text, photos and video kept AP competitive on one of the weekend’s top stories, the arson at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence in Harrisburg that forced the family to evacuate hours after enjoying a Passover Seder.
Levy flagged word of the overnight fire to the weekend crew, then quickly drafted a story and hustled there as it became clear the blaze was no accident. He helped keep text fresh with updates while also making iPhone photos of the aftermath and sending iPhone video clips of the scene, and offering a live shot. He pursued records and relatives for the arrested suspect and, while awaiting further information from officials, leveraged his political expertise to craft a digital-friendly sidebar on what to know about the story and Shapiro.
The judges were impressed by Levy’s commitment to covering the breaking news story competitively in all formats.
