The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition The Globe has won four
Canadian Online Publishing Association
awards. The unbylined item says No Safe Use, a project
that delved into the deadly
legacy of Canadians' exposure to
asbestos, won a gold medal for
Best Interactive Story and was
also named winner of the Best
Content award. No Safe Use was
written by Tavia Grant and edited
by Ted Mumford. Globe reporters Grant Robertson
and Jacquie McNish also won
gold in Best News Coverage for
their investigation into the increase
in oil transported by rail
leading up to the disastrous crash
in Lac-Megantic.
Rob Carrick's e-mail newsletter
Personal Finance Reader won a
silver medal for design and
engagement. Entrants in three
divisions come from media publishers,
corporations and advertising
agencies. In The Globe's other nominated
entry for Best Interactive Story, a
team of journalists detailed the
behind-the-scenes story of how
Canada weathered the financial
crisis. A Globe infographic detailing
why food is so expensive in
Canada's North, by Murat Yukselir,
Josh Kerr and Rick Cash, also
earned a finalist nod.
Last year, The Globe won two
golds and two silvers at the
COPAs.
