Fortune and the New York Times were among the financial news media that won 2015 awards from the Deadline Club.

Ruiz and Hiroko Tabuchi of The New York Times won the award for business investigative reporting for  “Fatal Flaws,” which has exposed missteps and delays by automakers and federal safety regulators in responding to deadly defects in automobiles during what has become a record year for recalls — more than 60 million in the United States in 2014.
