The Daily Wire has been honored with four nominations for the 2026 Dao Prize for Excellence in Investigative Journalism, a testament to the outlet’s dedication to in-depth, impactful reporting. The prize, awarded by the Dao Feng and Angela Foundation and the National Journalism Center, recognizes journalists who advance the public interest through robust investigative work.
Jennie Taer Nominated for Best Multimedia Reporting
Jennie Taer is among the nominees for Best Multimedia Reporting for her on-the-ground coverage of ICE operations in Minneapolis. Her work included ride-alongs with agents and extensive coverage of TSA lines at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport during the longest-ever government shutdown. Her reporting helped dispel myths about ICE’s role in airports and highlighted the complexities of immigration enforcement.
Megan Brock Nominated for Best Overall Reporting
Megan Brock is nominated for Best Overall Reporting for her exposé on the Biden-Harris administration’s secret plan to turbocharge trans policy, a series that underscored the stakes of the 2024 election and future political contests. Her ability to translate complex bureaucratic documents and connect the dots across government agencies and activist groups is a standout achievement.
Luke Rosiak Nominated for Two Categories
Luke Rosiak, who won the 2025 Dao Prize for Excellence in DOGE Reporting, has been nominated in two categories: Best Overall Reporting and the Daylight Award for fraud reporting. His “Medicaid Millions” series revealed fraudulent “home healthcare” facilities that billed Medicaid for millions despite not offering any services. His reporting led to a congressional hearing and prompted high-profile political figures to pledge investigations into fraud.
All three reporters worked tirelessly on these stories, showcasing the depth of reporting that goes into uncovering the truth. The Daily Wire’s commitment to holding power accountable and reporting on issues that matter to Americans remains unwavering. While awards are a recognition of excellence, the real motivation is to serve the public interest and inform the nation.
