Free Press reporter Julia-Simone Rutgers has won a prestigious award that recognizes excellence among young Canadian journalists.
Rutgers’s work on the climate change beat led to their selection as the 32nd annual Hon. Edward Goff Penny Memorial recipient.
In announcing the award Monday, News Media Canada noted Rutgers impressed the judges with their investigative reporting, compelling writing, and long features with complex narratives.

Rutgers, who works for the Free Press and the Narwhal jointly as part of a journalism pilot project funded by the Winnipeg Foundation, is focused on telling environmental stories through a climate change lens.
“The spotlight on urgent environmental matters in Manitoba has never been brighter. Rutgers is helping Manitobans gain a great understanding of their rapidly evolving world,” said Free Press associate editor Scott Gibbons.
The prize honours outstanding work published in daily newspapers by young Canadian journalists aged 20 to 25. The award is made possible by the estate of the late Arthur G. Penny, a former editor with the Quebec Chronicle.
