IGN is delighted to announce that reporter Rebekah Valentine has won the New York Game Awards' Knickerbocker Award for Best Games Journalism.
Rebekah was honored "for her work investigating workplace misconduct at video game studios, and for elevating marginalized voices in her coverage of a game about the war in Iraq," spanning her time at both IGN and GamesIndustry.
At IGN, Rebekah has revealed long-standing culture issues within Bungie, reported on the complex reaction to the creation of Six Days in Fallujah, and consistently shone a light on lesser-seen games, among many other pieces of excellent work.
At GamesIndustry, she demonstrated an expertise with business reporting, and notably revealed a toxic working environment at Season developer Scavengers Studio. Rebekah previously won Top Gaming Journalist of the Year at the inaugural GameHERS awards.
I, the wider IGN news team, and everyone at IGN send our congratulations to Rebekah for this richly deserved award.
The New York Game Awards 2022 were announced yesterday, February 1, and included Psychonauts 2 as Game of the Year and Best World, Sable as Best Indie Game and Best Music, and more.
