$5,000 AWARD
The Feddie Reporting Award
Award Established 2010

In 2010, the National Press Foundation established this award to recognize outstanding reporting about the impact of federal laws and regulations on local communities. It is open to any U.S.-based journalist whose work represents the highest standards of journalism. The award includes a cash prize of $5,000 and the winner participates in NPF’s annual awards event.

This year’s winner is Hannah Dreier of The New York Times for investigative reporting on the labor exploitation of migrant children in the U.S.

Dreier’s editor Kirsten Danis accepted the award on her behalf at NPF’s annual awards dinner in Washington D.C. Feb. 15, 2024.

The judges noted the immediate impact of Dreier’s reporting, leading to the resignation of Biden’s domestic policy chief Susan Rice, Congressional hearings for Health & Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra and Department of Labor investigations into Perdue and Tyson Foods.
