About Shannon Dooling
Shannon Dooling是波士顿的一名调查记者。 Her work can be found on WBUR, Boston’s NPR news station, and nationally with ProPublica and NPR. Her reporting focuses primarily on immigration and criminal justice.
In 2019, she broke the national news story about the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle a humanitarian immigration process designed to allow seriously ill immigrants to stay in the U.S. for medical treatment. The process was reinstated following Congressional hearings.
Her reporting has won several Edward R. Murrow awards, including awards for continuing coverage and investigative reporting. In 2022, she was part of the team recognized with the National Headliner Award and the AAJA Excellence in Investigative Reporting award for their series on civil asset forfeiture in Massachusetts.
She’s also part of the team researching how race factors into mass and prolonged detention of immigrants, a project funded through BU’s Center for Antiracist Research.
