In 2019, Ms. Gabler and two colleagues received a Gerald Loeb award for their article detailing how the chief executive of CBS tried to bury a sexual assault allegation to save his job. In 2018, she was part of a team awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for coverage of sexual harassment and misconduct.
While in Milwaukee, Ms. Gabler and her colleagues uncovered flaws in the nation’s newborn screening program that led to reforms in hospitals and states across the country. The reporting disclosed how infants had died and suffered permanent disabilities because of delays by hospitals and state labs on blood tests that are done on nearly all babies shortly after birth.
Ms. Gabler won the Livingston Award for Young Journalists in National Reporting and shared with colleagues the Selden Ring Award for Investigative Reporting, Scripps Howard, Gerald Loeb, and National Headliner awards, among others, in 2014.
