Winnipeg Free Press, CBC's Joe Schlesinger among Canadian Journalism Foundation awards

The Winnipeg Free Press won the Excellence in Journalism Award in the large or national media category, sponsored by the Jackman Foundation and the Canadian Journalism Foundation. "The jury found the Winnipeg Free Press presentation dazzling," said Michael Benedict, Chair of CJF's Excellence Award jury. "It exceeded all our criteria for excellence. It is gratifying that in a time when so many papers are in survival mode, that the Free Press remains journalistically ambitious and strives to achieve even greater heights.”

The CJF’s lifetime achievement award went to the CBC’s Joe Schlesinger.

The presentaions were made at the CJF's annual gala in Toronto.
