Judges cited Desjardins' beat reporting as well as her extraordinary live coverage from inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The National Press Foundation judges noted that Desjardins, who has covered Capitol Hill for the past 16 years, remained calm even as she reported on rioters shattering the doors of the building and streaming inside – and did not make herself part of the story.
