Jewish Chronicle journalist Sandy Rashty has been named Young Journalist of the Year.
Ms Rashty 26, received the Young Journalist of the Year prize in the annual GG2 Leadership Awards, sponsored by the Daily Mail.
Judges at a gala dinner in London last night said she had ascended the ranks of the “respected Jewish Chronicle to work on the business section within six months.”
Presenting her with her award, Tory MP Shailesh Vara said: “Our winner wasn’t even thinking about a career in journalism until she penned a piece about her slightly unusual ethnic and religious background for the newspaper that now employs her.
