THE Winnipeg Free Press has placed second for the annual Hollobon Award for the newspaper’s series No Running Water.
Pitched by Free Press photojournalist Joe Bryksa, who teamed up with assistant city editor Helen Fallding and multimedia editor Tyler Walsh for the in-depth multi-media project, the series documents the lack of running water on northern Manitoba First Nations communities in the Island Lake region.
The Hollobon Award is presented annually by the Health Care Public Relations Association of Canada to recognize a print or broadcast story that has contributed significantly to the public’s understanding of health care. It’s given in honour of Joan Hollobon, who covered health issues for the Globe and Mail for 25 years.
Elizabeth Payne of the Ottawa Citizen placed first this year, with her series titled Bringing Birth Home.
The No Running Water series was supported by a $20,000 grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
