2021 Charles E. Green Star Reporter: Alex Stuckey

This year’s judge for this category wrote highly about the Houston Chronicle’s Alex Stuckey’s, who submitted a “brilliant, beautifully written, heart-tugging investigation into the failed and flawed Texas mental health system.

Stuckey uses narrative of individual mental health patients surrounding the findings of a year-long inquiry to make sad and maddening points of suffering untreated.

The 2021 Charles E. Green Star Reporter, Alex Stuckey, spoke with the Headliners Foundation’s Mark Morrison to discuss her award-winning body of work.
