The Ottawa Citizen won two National Newspaper Awards Friday evening for photography and feature writing.
Photographer Julie Oliver took the Feature Photo category for a series of images illustrating the story of “butterfly child” Jonathan Pitre, a teenager who suffers from one of the most painful conditions known, epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic disease that causes the skin to blister, shear and scar. Oliver’s pictures captured the joy and pain of a young man’s courage.
“It was just a privilege to tell Jonathan’s story and to get to know him and his mom,” Oliver said after receiving the award.
“Julie’s photos, which tell the story of a day in the life of Jonathan Pitre, make up one of the most powerful photo essays I have ever seen,” said Citizen Editor Andrew Potter. “She shows Jonathan’s pain and struggle, but also the tenderness and even joy he shares with his mom as he strives to live as normal a life as possible.”
Former Citizen writer Shelley Page won the Short Feature category for sharing what it was like to be a female journalist covering the Montreal massacre, in which 14 women were killed by gunman Marc Lépine. 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.”
“Shelley Page’s award reminds us that she is one of the most thoughtful and reflective journalists in Canada,” Potter said. “Her willingness to critically reflect on her own reporting of a politically charged issue speaks to her courage and commitment to most basic function of journalism: to bear witness.”
Also nominated was Citizen photographer Wayne Cuddington, a 35-year veteran whose photo of strangers rushing to help Cpl. Nathan Cirillo after he was fatally wounded on Oct. 22 illustrated how the human instinct to help others wins out against acts of barbarism.
This photo, by Wayne Cuddington of the Citizen, was an NNA finalist. It shows strangers rushing to help Cp. Nathan Cirillo after he was fatally wounded on Oct. 22.
The National Newspaper Awards are open to daily newspapers, news agencies and select online news sites.
Seventy-one finalists were nominated in 22 categories out of a total of 1,297 entries.
