Coast Reporter picked up a pair of silver Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards on April 28.
Reporter Sean Eckford placed second among the finalists for the Neville Shanks Memorial Award for Historical Writing, winning silver for “Shíshálh ancestors come to life,” published May 18, 2017.
Coast Reporter also received silver for best overall B.C. community newspaper in its circulation class.
Judges described the newspaper as “a local content heavyweight,” and noted that “evidence abounds of the intimate relationship the paper has with the community and vice versa.”
