Times Wins O.P.C. Award

The Overseas Press Club has named The Times its winner of the William Worthy Award, which recognizes the best interpretation of international affairs, for its coverage of drone warfare in Ukraine.

The very nature of warfare was changing before our eyes, and as an institution we had to document that."

The Times also had four citation winners, or runners-up:
