Hanna Raskin

Hanna Raskin, who received a Substack Local grant to launch The Food Section, was formerly the food editor and chief critic for The Post and Courier. Here’s a sampling of her work at the paper. During Raskin’s eight-year tenure, she was nominated for four James Beard Foundation awards, winning the organization’s first-ever prize for local impact journalism. Her work has also been recognized by the Society of Features Journalism, National Center on Disability and Journalism, and the South Carolina Press Association, which in 2018 named her the state’s top beat reporter. Raskin served as president of Association of Food Journalists and headed its ethics committee. She lives in Charleston, South Carolina, but is frequently on the road (or the rails) in the South.
