Boston Globe Media recently won a Loeb award for the local category for its extensive Spotlight Team investigation into Steward Health Care. Catherine Carlock, real estate reporter for the Globe, was a member of the Team, and attended the awards ceremony on Oct. 9 in New York City.
The Gerald Loeb awards are the most prestigious in business journalism. The Spotlight Team’s investigation into Steward Health Care focused on the for-profit health care chain’s operation of a string of hospitals in Massachusetts before it collapsed last year under the weight of financial ruin.
The Steward investigation has also won a Scripps Howard Journalism Award for excellence in business/financial reporting and was a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist in the public service category.
Carlock is a 2010 Washington and Lee University graduate who majored in journalism and English. She is the daughter of Cathy and Craig Carlock of Lexington.
