Daniel Denvir, a senior staff writer for City Paper, has accepted a job with The Atlantic's CityLab news site and plans to move to Providence, R.I., this summer.
Denvir, 32, has covered criminal justice, public education, socio-economic injustice and statewide politics for City Paper for four years.
In 2014, he won the Association of Alternative Newsmedia's Public Service award for a series of three articles that focused on the Pennsylvania Innocence Project's effort to win a new trial for Lance Felder and Eugene Gilyard, who were convicted of murder and were serving life sentences. Judge Rose Marie DeFino-Nastasi ultimately ordered a new trial and freed the men on bail. District Attorney Seth Williams announced in June that he was dropping charges against the men.
In 2014, Denvir also won five Keystone Press awards for his investigative and enterprise reporting.
He plans to leave the City Paper staff in April, but continue to freelance for the paper until he moves to Providence.
