Free Press reporter Gabrielle Piché has been recognized as one of the country’s top young journalists.
Piché was one of two reporters named Tuesday as a recipient of the 33rd annual Hon. Edward Goff Penny Memorial Prize for Young Canadian Journalists.
Piché, who began her career as a Free Press summer intern, has covered a wide range of stories where her dedication continues to inform readers on important matters. In announcing the award, News Media Canada noted her work included a look at the effects of retail theft and crime, the city’s regulation of short-term rentals, passenger safety issues on a northern bus line and the lack of a succession plan among Manitoba farmers.

Business reporter Gabrielle Piché has won the Hon. Edward Goff Penny Award.
“Gabrielle’s writing is fresh, informative and deeply researched. She combines an inquisitive nature and ability to analyze data to produce unique business stories, from hard news to long features, that matter to Manitoba readers,” said Scott Gibbons, a Free Press associate editor.
Jenna Head, who was formerly at the St. John’s Telegram, was the other recipient of the award, which includes a $1,000 prize. Julia-Simone Rutgers, who writes on climate change for the Free Press and The Narwhal, won the award in 2023.
The award honours outstanding work published in daily newspapers by Canadian journalists aged 20 to 25, and is made possible by the estate of the late Arthur G. Penny, a former newspaper editor with the Quebec Chronicle, and grandson of Edward Goff Penny.
The elder Penny was a journalist, businessman and Quebec senator.
