Global News nominated for 3 Canadian Association of Journalists awards

Three Global News features have been named finalists for the 2013 Canadian Association of Journalists awards.

Crude Awakening was nominated for a CAJ/Marketwired Data Journalism Award. The multi-part data-driven investigative series documented decades of Alberta oil spills in animation and interactive maps and took a close look at the spills’ impacts on residents and provincial oversight – or lack thereof – of a swiftly growing energy industry.

Remembrance Day – Mapping the Dead of Canada’s Wars presented a unique, intimate glimpse at the country’s fallen soldiers by painstakingly plotting their next-of-kin addresses across the country. The engrossing interactive was named a finalist in the Online Media category.
