Robin Toner recalled in Politico Series on Extraordinary Women

In a special Politico series called “Women Rule,” the special talents and strong character of Robin Toner are vividly recalled by Stephanie Cutter, a prominent Democratic political consultant, deputy campaign manager for President Obama’s re-election and co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire.”

In her essay, Cutter writes: “Robin was a true public servant. With her life and her work, she raised the bar — not just for her fellow reporters but for everyone who works in politics.”

The $5,000 Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting is among her legacies. Entries for 2013 coverage are now being accepted online at Toner Prize entry form.
