Every year The New York Press Club hands out the NELLIE BLY CUB REPORTER AWARD. The award goes to "the best journalistic effort by a reporter with three years or less professional experience." This year's recipient is:

Jessica Bennett for "various articles" she wrote for NEWSWEEK. Jessica is a senior writer at NEWSWEEK, covering culture, lifestyle, women's issues and national affairs. She has written on everything from the rise of polyamory to the dark side of the Internet to the struggles of a new generation of gay activists, for which she won a 2009 GLAAD Award. In 2007, she authored a cover story about online virtual worlds, and more recently, led reporting on a story about sexism at work to mark the 40th anniversary of a landmark gender discrimination suit against Newsweek. Bennett has served as an associate editor for Newsweek's Periscope section and as a reporter for Newsweek.com and the magazine's International edition. She has worked as a researcher for political reporter Wayne Barrett, contributing to his 2006 book on Rudy Giuliani and 9/11, and was a reporting fellow at The Boston Globe, where she covered crime. Originally from Seattle, she graduated from Boston University and the University of Buenos Aires. She coauthors a blog, The Equality Myth and can be found on Twitter.
