The Sidney Hillman Foundation Award for Social Justice Reporting goes to Allison Dikanovic. Each year, this award goes to an outstanding recent graduate of the Newmark School of Journalism at CUNY. 

Allison graduated in December 2020 from what was then called the Social Journalism program (now Engagement Journalism).

While in J-school, she developed a rent and eviction-focused newsletter for THE CITY. She is currently helping lead THE CITY’s Civic Newsroom project and newsletter.
