MONTREAL – The Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star were the big winners as the National Newspaper Awards were handed out in Montreal on Friday night.
The Globe took home nine of the 23 regular awards, in front of the Toronto Star, which took home six. One of the Globe’s awards was shared with the Halifax Chronicle Herald and two of the Star awards were shared with the Investigative Journalism Bureau.
La Presse, Reuters and the Chronicle Herald picked up two awards each.
The Star won the Project of the Year award for its coverage of the sexual abuse suffered by Andrea Skinner, the daughter of literary icon Alice Munro, at the hands of her stepfather.
The Star also won in the investigations category for its reporting done with the Investigative Journalism Bureau on the failings of a program meant to fund mental health care for Inuit and First Nations people.
The Globe took home the breaking news award for its coverage of the women’s soccer spying scandal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Chronical Herald’s Aaron Beswick was named journalist of the year for his coverage of lawlessness in Nova Scotia’s lobster and eel fisheries, including poaching, arson and international smuggling.
There were 864 entries for consideration in this year’s awards submitted by 82 news organizations. Finalists and winners were selected by three-judge panels in each category.
The awards were established by the Toronto Press Club in 1949 to encourage excellence and reward achievement in daily newspaper work in Canada. The competition is now open to newspapers, news agencies and online news sites.
