Taranaki Daily News reporter Kirsty Johnston won a Qantas Media Awards for her coverage of the discovery of toxic chemicals in drums buried beneath a public park in New Plymouth.
The story on drums containing dioxin were uncovered under a childrens playground at Marfell Park New Plymouth by stormwater workers, sparking concern from nearby residents.
Dioxin was a by-product of chemicals manufactured by the Ivon Watkins-Dow company from the early 1960s until 1987.
