Read This on the F-22

In this piece, freelance journalist Jonah Engle balances the systemic arguments against the F-22 Raptor (from analysts like me) against the concerns of workers whose livelihoods depend on the program. The resulting reportage, which includes interviews with Pratt & Whitney employees in Connecticut, captures both sides of the story better than anything else I have read this spring.

Not surprisingly, the article won the prize for financial reporting at the Columbia J School this spring. Congrats, Jonah, and keep up the good work!
