Media making a difference

March 23, 2017

Congratulations! For their investigative reporting on A Workers’ Compensation System in Crisis, Toronto Star labour reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh and her team (Melissa Renwick, Paul Watson, Cameron Tulk, Kelsey Wilson, Frances Kelly) have been awarded a well-deserved 2017 Canadian Hillman Prize honourable mention. The prestigious Prize honours excellence in journalism in service of the common good that draws attention to social or economic injustice and hopefully leads to corrective measures.

Issues of work and justice were also powerfully addressed by 2017 Prize winners, film-makers Min Sook Lee & Lisa Valencia-Svensson, for their documentary Migrant Dreams on the exploitation of migrant farm workers struggling against Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
