Best Suburban Report in Print
Goya Dmytryshchak
Fairfax Community Network
Goya Dmytryshchak has won the Best Suburban Report in Print Quill for her stories on how methyl bromide, a chemical banned in many OECD countries, was being used in Altona, much to the concern of local residents. The story was later picked up by other news organisations.
Judges Citation
In a highly competitive field, the judges described Goya as the deserving winner for her report on the industrial use of methyl bromide to fumigate logs. Her investigation brought a company to account and prompted action by the chief health officer and the EPA. The judges said her report demonstrated community journalism at its best, giving residents a voice on what was arguably a life and death issue.
