The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) is pleased to share its finalists for 2024 CAJ Awards.
Recipients in each category will be announced at the awards gala on Saturday, May 31, 2025 at the Delta Hotel Downtown Calgary.
The gala is the CAJ’s signature annual event to conclude its national conference. The theme for this year’s conference is Because Facts Still Matter.
“Journalism that serves the public interest is an essential service that shines a light into the darkest corners of society,” said Brent Jolly, president of the CAJ. “In a time of chaos, disorder, and shrinking civic spaces, fact-based journalism is a critical antidote to a rising sense of cynicism. Quality journalism serves as a beacon of hope for a more fair and just world – a quality that is universally shared by this year’s finalists.”
Judges selected these finalists from a record 540 submissions. “Our team was blown away by the range and depth of the quality journalism Canadians produced this year,” said Jason Markusoff, CAJ Awards committee chair. “Many judges told me how difficult their selections were this year, given how much inspiring and stellar work was entered.”
For the first time this year, CAJ Awards will announce two winners in each category: Gold and Silver. Both will get certificates to acknowledge the outstanding journalism, while the Gold winner will also get a monetary prize.
