EHN reporters Cami Ferrell and Kristina Marusic were honored with four awards at the 2025 Golden Quill Awards in Pittsburgh for their exceptional investigative journalism on hydrogen energy and chemical recycling. The competition, hosted by the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania, recognized the reporters' excellence in written journalism, videography, and digital journalism. Ferrell and Marusic's series on federally-funded hydrogen hub projects shed light on the lack of transparency in the planning process and the widespread frustrations in communities awaiting hydrogen energy development, particularly in Texas and western Pennsylvania. In a separate investigation, Marusic delved into chemical recycling in Appalachia, uncovering community opposition to proposed waste processing facilities in Youngstown, Ohio; Point Township, Pennsylvania; and Follansbee, West Virginia. The reporters' impactful work was acknowledged at an awards dinner on May 28th, with Marusic expressing pride in receiving an award named after an influential journalist. The recognition underscores the journalists' commitment to shedding light on important environmental issues.
