The competition is held in conjunction with the SWNA鈥檚 Annual General Meeting and highlights the best, the brightest, and the importance of community newspapers across the province.
Reporter/columnist Derek Ruttle is up for the award of 鈥楤est News Story of the Year鈥� for the headline-making and attention-grabbing story that ended up sprouting out of Ruttle鈥檚 attempt to obtain answers to a number of questions that were posed to the Town of Outlook鈥檚 mayor, Ross Derdall, last spring.
Writer/columnist Shelley Luedtke is up for 鈥楤est Educational Coverage K-12 Story or Feature鈥� for her story entitled, 鈥業n the Halls of Outlook鈥檚 Schools鈥� which explored how educators go about reviewing each school year and planning the next one.聽 Luedtke is also up for 鈥楤est Feature Story鈥� for her article, 鈥楾he Man and the Magic Behind the Beard鈥�, her exclusive interview with Santa Claus himself.
The Outlook newspaper also finds itself in the running for Best Front Page in the Class B ranking.
