Julie K. Brown is an award-winning investigative journalist with the Miami Herald.

For her reporting on Epstein, Brown was awarded the Hillman Prize for Newspaper Journalism, the National Press Club Journalism Institute’s Neil and Susan Sheehan award for investigative journalism, the Freedom Forum Institute’s Power Shift award, and a George Polk Award in the Justice Reporting category.
