Powerful and evocative images captured by two Citizen photographers and a reflection on the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique in Montreal earned have this newspaper three National Newspaper Award nominations.
Photographers Wayne Cuddington and Julie Oliver were nominated in two categories, respectively, News Photo and Feature Photo. As well, former Citizen writer Shelley Page was nominated in the Short Feature category.
Following a gunman’s attack at the National War Memorial last fall, Cuddington’s photograph showed strangers who had rushed to help Cpl. Nathan Cirillo after he was fatally wounded. The pictures were both poignant and positive, illustrating how the human instinct to help others wills out against acts of barbarism.
Wayne Cuddington is nominated for a National Newspaper Award for this photo of passersby who came to the aid of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo after he was gunned down at the War Memorial last Oct. 22.
Oliver was honoured for a series of images she took illustrating the story of “Butterfly child” Jonathan Pitre, a teenager who suffers from one of the most painful conditions known to medicine, Epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic disease that causes the skin to blister, shear and scar. Oliver’s pictures captured the joy and the pain of a young man’s courage.
Julie Oliver is nominated for this photo of 14-year-old Jonathan Pitre, who suffers from Epidermolysis bullosa, a rare disease defined by severe blistering and shearing of the skin that leaves Jonathan in constant pain.
“It’s bitter sweet to have been nominated by the National Newspaper Awards for a photo I took of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo being attended to after he was gunned down on Oct. 22,” Cuddingtion, 57, and a 35-year veteran at the Citizen, said Wednesday.
“It’s an honour to be recognized by my peers for work I’ve done, but I’m saddened by the death of a young reservist who was simply standing sentry, something thousands have done over the years, including myself, when I was a member of the Governor General’s Foot Guards.”
In her feature, Page shared what it was like to be a female journalist covering the Montreal massacre, in which 14 women were killed by a deranged gunman. With her first-person account — part of a series of recollections published by the Citizen on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy — Page admitted to fearing she had “sanitized the event of its feminist anger and then infantilized and diminished the victims.”
Citizen editor-in-chief Andrew Potter lauded the nominations. “The nominations of Wayne Cuddington and Julie Oliver confirm what residents of Ottawa have always known — that the Citizen has the finest photojournalists in Canada.
“Shelley Page’s revisiting of her original reporting on the Montreal massacre brought the level of moral clarity and sensitivity that made her one of the Citizen’s most beloved writers for years.”
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Toronto on May 22.
