The Free Press investigation into teacher and physician misconduct has been nominated for a prestigious CJF Jackman Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Three pieces by investigative reporter Katrina Clarke — “Truth and hidden consequences,” a deep dive into the lack of accountability within teacher misconduct cases in Manitoba; “Diagnosis: disrespect,” which documents the years-long fight of a Manitoba woman to hold a rural physician accused of sexual assault to account; “Out-of-sight oversight,” an investigation into the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba’s handling of physician misconduct allegations — made the 2023 Canadian Journalism Foundation awards short list in the small media category (fewer than 50 full-time employees).
Her work is nominated alongside efforts from CBC Saskatchewan, Discourse (Nanaimo), Eastern Graphic, and Canada’s National Observer.

“This nomination speaks to the value of a investigative reporter like Katrina Clarke and a newspaper committed to excellence in journalism,” said Free Press editor Paul Samyn.
The Jackman Awards (named after CJF founder Eric Jackman, and presented annually since 1996) seek to recognize the work of Canadian media outlets of all sizes. The shortlisted nominees, the foundation says, ”embrace ideals of journalistic excellence — originality, courage, independence, accuracy, social responsibility, accountability and diversity.”
Winners will be announced June 13 at an award ceremony in Toronto.
Clarke has also been nominated for a 2022 Canadian Association of Journalists freedom of information journalism award for “Truth and hidden consequences” (to be announced April 15 in Vancouver).
Her work at the Hamilton Spectator, prior to joining the Free Press, has been nominated for a 2022 National Newspaper Award in the sustained news coverage category.
The Free Press was nominated for four National Newspaper Awards last month. The winners will be announced in May.
