National recognition for your Citizen Three members of the team receive Canadian Community Newsmedia Awards CITIZEN STAFF
The Prince George Citizen has earned national recognition for excellence in journalism, capturing three honours at the 2025 Canadian Community Newsmedia Awards (CCNAwards). Ted Clarke, Chuck Nisbett and Colin Slark were among the award recipients announced Monday, Sept. 22. The awards recognize work done in 2024. The awards were the first that The Citizen was eligible for since the paper was bought from Glacier Media by Cameron Stolz and Terresa Randall-Stolz last year. “I’m extremely proud of the quality reporting done by the editorial staff,”

said Stolz, the paper’s publisher. “We’ve seen a definite change over the past 18 months with quality journalism that
is now being recognized by a national news organization.” Veteran Citizen reporter Clarke was
awarded second place in the Best Local Civic Journalism category for large-market publications. His story, with the headline Retiring RCMP superintendent calls drug decriminalization ‘the most horrific failure of public policy,’ explored the contentious and evolving debate around drug policy in British Columbia through the lens of a retiring law enforcement leader. “Clarke has given the reader an in-depth look at the hard truths and realities that would normally not be available to the public,” the judges wrote. “It covers a great deal of information and is direct in its format to ensure the exact words from the retiring superintendent are clear and concise.” First place in that category went to journalists from InsideHalton.com in Ontario and third went to North Shore News in North and West Vancouver.
