NAREE annouces Bivins fellows

The National Association of Real Estate Editors awarded $5,000 Bivins Fellowships to two mid-career journalists, freelance writer Lisa Prevost and Jeff Ostrowski, a real estate and business reporter for the Palm Beach Post.
From the announcement:

Professor George Harmon of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University judged the Bivins Fellowship applications. He said: “Lisa Prevost, a contributor to the New York Times, Boston Globe and other publications, has proved herself to be a lively writer and reporter who can produce stories that catch readers' attention.” Prevost will use the fellowship funds to help underwrite research on a book about a housing development trend sapping the New England economy. Ostrowski will use the Bivins Fellowship for in-depth studies in financial analysis. Harmon said: “This would give Ostrowski some added expertise in deconstructing financial statements. Many business reporters are finding that courses offered by the profession of financial analysis are a valuable tool for enterprise reporting.”
