Mail & Guardian reporters continue to reap awards for outstanding journalism.
Nawaal Deane, the M&G’s health reporter, has won a US/SA Excellence in Health Reporting Award. Her story “Counting the costs of three million lives” (March 7), about government foot-dragging on anti-retroviral treatment for people with HIV/Aids, was judged best report in the category of print publications with a circulation of fewer than 50 000.
“Nawaal’s stories not only display expertise and tenacity, but are also laden with empathy for the people she writes about,” M&G editor Mondli Makhanya said. “That is why she has made such an impact in this crucial field of health journalism.”
