Toronto Star business reporter Jacob Lorinc has earned an award as best young journalist in the Society for Advancing Business Editing and Writing annual awards program.
Lorinc won the Jeff Sanford Best Young Journalist Award in the SABEW awards program.
Lorinc’s reporting on how Air Canada agreed to refund customers for canceled flights for a bailout and his feature on how Canadian CEOS earned wage hikes during the pandemic were included in his nomination.
The Star earned nominations in three more award categories in the “Best in Business” program. The winners will be announced June 21.
Star journalists Evelyn Kwong, Richard Warnica and Andrew Bailey have earned spots as finalists in three award categories.
Said the Toronto Star’s business editor, Duncan Hood: “We’re honored to see the Star represented so well at this year’s Best in Business Awards, especially after such an unprecedented year.
“It’s a huge boost to our entire team to see such important, groundbreaking work make it to the finals.”
Kwong has been shortlisted for this year’s personal finance and investing award for reporting on the financial issues millennials face on her podcast “Millennial Money.”
For this year’s investigative reporting award, Warnica and Bailey earned a spot as finalists for their reporting on how Doug Ford’s business interests swayed his decisions during the pandemic.
Warnica is also a finalist in the beat reporting award category, for his work as a business and political writer for the Star.
