Mr. Hoffman was most recently awarded a 2011 National Newspaper Award, shared with colleague Mark MacKinnon, for an investigation into Sino-Forest Corp., the Chinese timber firm whose shares collapsed following sensational fraud allegations.

In 2010, Mr. Hoffman won a National Newspaper Award as a member of The Globe team covering BHP Billiton’s $38-billion hostile takeover bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan.
