“Dawn is one of the toughest, smartest, and most thorough reporters I've ever worked with in my 15 years of PR. She's tough -- but not difficult to work with. She's not "spinnable." I always knew when she called me for a quote or to talk about a piece that she'd done all her research, talked to a lot of sources and really examined all the background. And while we weren't on the same side of the story, and I wasn't always thrilled with her stories -- she covered banking while I was in the PR department for the American Bankers Association -- I always knew that she'd be fair and I could trust her to be a straight shooter. No bait and switch. And she'd get her facts right -- which is the most important thing of all.”

“Overworked and Underwhelmed” by Dawn Kopecki
This article helped prompt Wall Street investment banks to rethink the path to riches they set out for young associates. It illustrated the stress, sleep deprivation and lack of a normal 20-something life that are devastating to physical and mental health -
