Kim Bolan, a reporter with The Vancouver Sun, has won a first-place award from the New York-based South Asian Journalists' Association for coverage of the laying of charges in the 1985 Air-India bombing.
This is the second time she has won the top reporting award for best story or series on South Asians in North America.
Two years ago, she won an award for her coverage of the 1998 assassination of newspaper publisher Tara Singh Hayer.
Winners in other categories this year included Barry Bearak of The New York Times and Peter Jennings of ABC News.
Bearak wrote about Indians fighting for their rights after being falsely declared dead.
Jennings, along with producer Richard E Robbins, won the award for a documentary about the nuclear arms race in South Asia.
The awards will be presented in New York on June 23.
