We are incredibly proud of our Village Media journalists who won silver medals at the latest Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPA).
Heidi Ulrichsen of Sudbury.com was honoured in the "Best Continuing Coverage of a Story" category for her relentless reporting on Laurentian University's downward spiral into creditor protection.
And in the "Best Column/Videocast/Podcast" category, the silver went to a trio of Village Media's "Big Reads":
Saving the Great Lakes, one laundry load at a time, by CollingwoodToday editor Erika Engel.
Finding Emma, a residential school victim who never came home, by SooToday's James Hopkin.
How short-term vacation rentals are ruining the neighbourhood, by Marg. Bruineman of BarrieToday.
“A really proud moment for us," said Michael Friscolanti, Village Media's Editor-in-Chief, on the latest episode of Inside the Village. "We don’t get into journalism to win awards, but when you do win awards, when you do get recognized, it really shows the great work we’re doing.”
Every episode of the podcast is available on this news site /insidethevillage. If you prefer the audio version, it is available wherever you find your favourite podcasts.
