My four-part series for Nunatsiaq News garnered several national and community award nominations, including two first place finishes in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s Best Feature Series and Outstanding Reporter Initiative categories. Here’s what the judges had to say:

“An entry that blows past all the others for the effort and initiative taken by this journalist.”

“An outstanding series that excels in writing, research, and presentation. The articles blend storytelling with complex issues seamlessly, using historical context and a variety of interviews to provide depth and clarity. The solution journalism approach is highly original, addressing local challenges and opportunities effectively.”
