The Ottawa Citizen was nominated for a pair of National Newspaper Awards on Monday, with Christina Spencer earning a nod for her editorials, and Ashley Fraser honoured in the feature photography category.
Spencer, who became the Citizen’s editorial pages editor in 2016, had previously covered all levels of government as a reporter and editor, in the process developing expertise in many federal, provincial and local matters.
She won a National Newspaper Award in 1998 for her international reporting for the Citizen. She has also won a National Magazine Award, two Canadian Science Writers Awards, and was part of the Ottawa Citizen/Postmedia team that won the Michener Award for Public Service Journalism in 2012.
“This is really an honour,” she said following Monday’s announcement. “I’m quite thrilled because I love this work.
“But all editorials are collaborative, in that your editorial board colleagues, and your newsroom colleagues, really help clarify your arguments by the kind of hard work they do every day. Trying to develop a cohesive, consistent editorial stance is really the icing on the cake of the great journalism the whole Citizen newsroom does.”
Spencer’s submission included three editorials: one about the lack of transparency at Ontario’s long-term care homes, another concerning how disingenuously the federal government was selling its proposed changes to corporate taxation; and a third about The Salvation Army’s planned residential care facility in Vanier. All displayed her thorough research and thoughtful conclusions, distilling complex issues for readers while offering stakeholders prescriptive remedies.
Ashley Fraser’s photo of Brent Schmidt surfing the Ottawa River at Bate Island last April has been nominated for a National Newspaper Award.
Fraser, meanwhile, caught the judges’ attention with a moody photograph of a fog-enshrouded surfer off Bate Island.
“I’m just super excited and proud of the nomination,” she said on Monday.
This is Fraser’s second nomination for the prestigious award. She was nominated in 2007 for a spot news photo she took of a man in a Santa costume getting arrested in front of the prime minister’s residence.
Santa Claus and several of his elves visited 24 Sussex to voice their concerns to stop the North Pole from melting due to global warming while talks on the climate took place in Bali in 2007. Santa, arrested, sits in the back of the police truck.
Journalists at Postmedia newspapers picked up 12 of the 63 nominations in 21 categories. The Edmonton Journal led the chain with three nominations, while the Citizen, National Post, London Free Press and Vancouver Sun/Province each had two.
The Globe & Mail led all newspapers with 18 nominations, followed by the Toronto Star and La Presse with 12 and eight, respectively. The Winnipeg Free Press claimed three nominations, while The Canadian Press and New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal each had two. Seven other organizations received one nomination apiece.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Toronto on May 4. Winners receive $1,000 and a certificate. Other finalists receive citations of merit.
