The Globe and Mail’s investigative work nominated for CAJ awards

The Globe and Mail has been nominated for five Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) awards for investigative work.

The nominations range across genres and media. John Lehmann was nominated in the photography category for a portfolio submission. The Globe's multimedia investigation into missing and murdered indigenous women also received a nomination. The series, led by Kathryn Blaze Baum, Renata D'Aliesio, Matthew McClearn, Kristy Hoffman, Laura Blenkinsop and Christopher Manza, has also been nominated for a National Newspaper Award.

The paper's other nominations went to Joe Friesen for a story on refugees from Myanmar; Greg McArthur for an investigation into how investments by businessman Michael DeGroote got caught up in organized crime, done jointly with the CBC; and Bill Curry and Chris Hannay for an analysis of infrastructure spending in Conservative ridings.

The nominations span five categories: human rights reporting, photojournalism, data reporting, broadcast, and open media.

"These nominations reflect our passion for producing journalism that makes a difference in people's lives," said The Globe's editor-in-chief, David Walmsley. "And they demonstrate our commitment to telling stories in a multitude of ways, whether it be through investigations, data journalism, photography or multimedia projects."

The CAJ is a non-profit that promotes Canadian journalism and freedom of the press.

The awards will be presented on May 28 in Edmonton.
