Really honoured to see this work by @Sevawood and team recognized! Huge thanks to @REFBC for supporting this series and helping to make independent, non-profit, award-worthy journalism like this possible.
🎉The Narwhal is celebrating a Webster Award for excellence in innovative journalism 🎉 These stories aren’t ours, reporter @Sevawood says. “They belong to sovereign First Nations and we were fortunate to be trusted to share them.” @JackWebsterFdn

I began my career in England and always dreamt of working at The Guardian some day, so suffice to say that I'm having one of those 'pinch me' moments this week with the publication of our very first collab between @thenarwhalca & @guardian

A lot of attention goes to journalism awards, but innovation on the digital strategy/business side of this industry is just as worthy of recognition. I'm so damn proud of our audience team, who leapt into action last summer to turn lemons into lemonade 🍋
The Medium Division winner of the Innovator Award is @thenarwhalca for its newsletter growth in the wake of Canada’s Online News Act. This award recognizes @arikligeti, @karsaxenaaa and @carollinnitt.

3 years ago, we embarked on an experiment: could we launch a three-person Ontario bureau and attract enough paying members to support their journalism in perpetuity? We are now just 77 members away from being able to say: yes we can! Do something hopeful today by joining us.
The rumours are true! In a rare swag drop, the next 145 [UPDATE: 77] people to join us as members of The Narwhal’s pod get a spiffy limited-edition tote bag. Today’s the day support independent journalism that holds powerful people to account:

Witnessing the outpouring of grief for Jasper has me thinking about awe, that feeling of being in the presence of something vast that transcends our sense of self. Awe makes us feel more connected to others and to the natural world. Can it help us navigate these polarized times?
As Jasper wildfires make international headlines, our awe for the storied place transcends political parties, policies and posturing, @reporteremma writes. “Our shared grief for the loss of a place that so many of us cherish presents an opportunity.”
