The Globe and Mail wins four Jack Webster Awards

The Globe and Mail has won four Jack Webster Awards for work on topics that include the toxic opioid crisis, the national soccer team, a deadly festival attack in British Columbia and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Canada.

The awards, which recognize excellence across journalism in B.C., were announced at a ceremony in Vancouver on Monday evening. Globe journalists had been nominated in four categories, and won in each of them, making the publication the most decorated news outlet at the event.

Nancy Macdonald took home the prize for Best News Reporting of the Year for her in-depth feature about Pandora Avenue in Victoria. Her coverage illustrated the stark transformation of a leafy downtown boulevard in the provincial capital into a street marred by desperation because of the effects of fentanyl.
