They have shown that journalism can challenge the culture of silence and fear that surrounds restrictive practices in schools. Their reporting in The I Paper carries echoes of the Hartford Courant team in the United States in the 1990s. @billiejsweeney.bsky.social

They have taken stories that were ignored, dismissed, or minimized and brought them into national view with accuracy, care, and persistence. They asked hard questions, listened to families, examined evidence, and refused to soften the truth for the comfort of institutions.
