Your hometown community newspaper, the Burnaby NOW, has taken home three awards in a prestigious provincial community newspaper competition.
The NOW took silver in the general excellence category for our circulation size in the Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards. These awards look at every aspect of a community newspaper, from the stories to the photography to the design to the advertising.
“I’m extremely proud of our entire team for their incredible work,” said NOW publisher Lara Graham. “It takes a lot of talented people to put together a community newspaper and our staff work so hard each and every day to be the best.”
The NOW also won gold for the best story in the arts and culture writing category for the feature Smash the State – by Kelvin Gawley - a look at how Burnaby punk rock musician Joe Keithley went from fighting the man to earning a seat on council.
The NOW also took bronze for best sports photo for a timeless pic from a Burnaby soccer game taken by Jennifer Gauthier (pictured above).
