By Kristin Wood
The Canadian Community Newspapers Association has awarded the "Best Canadian Forces Newspaper" to The Trident, from CFB Halifax.
The award was presented in a ceremony at the Canadian Community Newspapers Association (CCNA) Conference, held in conjunction with the Canadian Forces Newspaper Association (CFNA) Conference in Banff. Judges complemented The Trident on their tight factual news stories, well-cropped photos, and precise layout techniques.
Trident editor Lynn Devereaux accepted the award on behalf of the staff at the newspaper. "It was an honour to accept this award for my staff," says Devereaux. "They are a dedicated group of professionals and I am proud to be a part of this team."
It was a winning week for Devereaux, who was also elected president of the CFNA during the conference. ""The Canadian Forces Newspapers have grown collectively by sharing best practices and building on each newspaper's success," says Devereaux. "I look forward to contributing to this association and working with Stephen Boates as VP, Corina DeGuire as treasurer, and Capt Sterling Cripps as secretary."
