Tyee Wins Excellence in Journalism Award
Tides Canada congratulates The Tyee, for being awarded the 2009 Excellence in Journalism Award — the highest Canadian prize for a journalism organization of The Tyee’s size and scope.
The award, created by the Canadian Journalism Foundation, was presented in Toronto Tuesday June 9th at a gala attended by many of Canada’s leading journalists, who heard remarks from Governor General Michaëlle Jean and iconic 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer.
By establishing charitable giving funds at Tides Canada, the Tyee provides fellowship grants to journalists researching under-reported social, economic, and environmental issues and to writers telling the stories of unsung innovators and leaders tackling tough social and environmental issues in BC and beyond.
