Graham Rayman of the The Village Voice is winner of this year's top honor in the New York Press Club's Awards for Journalism for a four part series about corruption in a Brooklyn police precinct. "The NYPD Tapes: Inside Bed-Stuy's 81st Precinct," was awarded the Club's Gold Keyboard for investigative journalism. Finalists for the Gold Keyboard Award included investigations published by the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Bloomberg News, Fortune Magazine and City Limits Magazine.

More than 300 entries were received for this year's competition, submitted by journalists whose work was published or broadcast in 2010 by more than 50 Metro New York news organizations.

The Awards Presentation and Installation of New York Press Club Officers Dinner takes place June 13th at the Water Club.
