An accomplished journalist for over 20 years, Kay started her academic career at Concordia in 2001. She went on to become the first tenured female journalism professor at the university.
Her research on pioneering female journalists in Canada compelled her to write The Sweet Sixteen: The Journey that Inspired the Canadian Women’s Press Club, which tells the story of a talented group of women who played an important role in journalism history.
“I’m thrilled and very humbled to receive the reward,” Kay told Global News on Wednesday.
“Distinguished journalists like Lise Bissonette, Celine Galipeau, Janet Bagnall of the Gazette and Josee Boilieau, editor of Le Devoir, won it in years past. I’m so excited to be considered in the same company.”
