Record reporters are once again proving their winning ways.
Reporter Cornelia Naylor has earned top spot at the Canadian Community Newspaper Association Awards for Best Feature Story. Her award came for The milk of human kindness, a special report published in October 2015 about the provincial breast milk bank, the mothers who donate to it, and the life-giving benefits it brings to the premature babies at Royal Columbian Hospital.
The awards, announced on April 15, honour the best work from community newspapers from coast to coast. See www.newspaperscanada.ca for more.
Meanwhile, in the Ma Murray Awards, reporter Julie MacLellan has earned a finalist’s nod for arts and culture writing for her piece These Glorious Years, a piece about the Massey Theatre’s 65th anniversary that ran in June 2015. The awards are handed out by the B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association and will be presented at a gala May 7.
The Ma Murray Awards recognize the best work published in the association’s 110 member newspapers. See www.bccommunitynews.com.
