Hannah Dreyfus was an Abrams reporting fellow covering abuse. Her 2021 investigation into Liberty University’s mishandling of campus sexual assault won the Society of Professional Journalists’ Ethics in Journalism Award and a National Award for Education Reporting in investigative reporting from the Education Writers Association. She was also a finalist for the 2021 Livingston Awards, which recognize exceptional work by journalists under 35.
In 2019, Dreyfus was recognized as a Writer of the Year by the New York Press Association for her investigation into sexual harassment and assault in Jewish nonprofit organizations. In March of that year, she partnered with ProPublica and The New York Times on an investigation into billionaire and philanthropic titan Michael Steinhardt and decades of alleged harassment toward women beholden to him for funding or jobs.
Dreyfus received a BA in English literature from Yeshiva University, after which she reported for the New York Jewish Week. Her work has appeared in the Times, Mother Jones, Politico, Slate and elsewhere.
Dreyfus is based in Phoenix.
