Blowing our own horn

This old but good news: on Wednesday evening, Public Eye and a team of Times Colonist staffers received the Jack Webster award for best news reporting of the year. But there're a number of others who deserve credit for this win - most importantly, everyone who spoke to Public Eye on and off the record about the Doug Walls affair. Without you, this story would have never come out. Former Province legislative bureau chief Barbara McLintock should also be given her own award - for translating Public Eye's research into readable copy and being an absolute angel. And a big thanks to Public Eye's kitchen cabinet/editorial board/psychiatric team. You know who you are.

Congrats, Sean!

You truly deserve all the recognition you get! Much of the foundation for the Doug Walls story had been laid out repeatedly over almost two years for anyone in our mainstream media who wanted to do it. It took a "rookie" like you to come along and show all our so-called professionals what real journalists can do when they actually get off their butts and stop rewriting government press releases!!

The big scoops don't come along every day, but don't lose that enquiring spirit and you'll go far.
