Dezeen's design and environment reporter Jennifer Hahn has won the prize for best new journalist at the International Building Press' annual journalism awards.
The International Building Press (IBP) judges praised Hahn for her "versatility, maturity and an ability to dig out a story and raise awareness on subjects of importance".
Hahn praised for "critical, balanced, provocative and revealing pieces"
The judges were particularly impressed with Hahn's work for Dezeen's Carbon Revolution series, which explored how the material could be removed from the atmosphere and put to use on earth.
"The writer avoids swallowing the PR line and digs deeper giving critical, balanced, provocative and revealing pieces," the judges said. "Design that produces carbon-neutral buildings runs through this submission." Hahn joined Dezeen as a reporter at the end of 2019. The new journalist category recognises writers that have been covering the built environment for less than two years.
Dezeen honoured at IPB Awards for fifth year in a row
Hahn collected the prize at an awards ceremony in London last week where Dezeen was also shortlisted in the editorial brand of the year category.
Dezeen's editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs was also shortlisted in the architecture writer and construction writer of the year categories, while Dezeen's features editor Nat Barker was shortlisted in two further categories for his previous role at the trade magazine Inside Housing.
