Two Free Press reporters have been nominated for another award for their investigation into the state of child care and underlying issues in Manitoba.
The Canadian Association of Journalists announced Friday that the series, by Katrina Clarke and Jeff Hamilton, is among the five finalists in the written news category. The series — called Building Blocks, Crumbling Foundation — was published in six parts in June.
Grant Robertson and Kathryn Blaze Baum of the Globe and Mail were nominated for their reporting on an algorithm that missed a deadly listeria outbreak. Jeff Yates and Nicholas De Rosa of Radio-Canada wrote about Canadians being targeted by fraud. Ghada Alsharif of the Toronto Star went undercover as an Uber Eats courier. Wendy Gillis and Jennifer Pagliaro of the Star were nominated for the story of a girl whose body was found in a garbage bin.
Judges selected the finalists for all categories from a record 540 submissions. For the first time, the CAJ will announce two winners in each category: gold and silver, with the gold winner also getting a monetary prize. The winners will be announced at an awards gala in Calgary on May 31.
“Journalism that serves the public interest is an essential service that shines a light into the darkest corners of society,” CAJ president Brent Jolly said in a news release.
“In a time of chaos, disorder and shrinking civic spaces, fact-based journalism is a critical antidote to a rising sense of cynicism. Quality journalism serves as a beacon of hope for a more fair and just world — a quality that is universally shared by this year’s finalists.”
The Free Press series is also among the nominees for the National Newspaper Awards. It was announced as a finalist in the NNA’s George Brown award for investigations last month.
