The Campbell River Mirror has been nominated for a Ma Murray Community Newsmedia Award, presented by the BC and Yukon Community News Media Association.
The People Project magazine has been nominated for the Special Publications category this year. The magazine features stories of the people who make Campbell River interesting, and has been running for two years as of 2024. The magazine was edited by Marc Kitteringham, and featured writing from Kitteringham, Alistair Taylor and Edward Hitchins.
The awards recognize excellence in advertising, writing and photography as well as special publications as created by community news organizations around British Columbia and Yukon. Three finalists have been announced for all categories and the winners will be unveiled at a BCYCNA gala at the Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver on April 20.
