Tyee's Tenove Gets Webster Nod
Community reporting award nomination honours heart of this website's mission.
Reporter Chris Tenove, whose dispatches from around the province helped launch The Tyee last winter, has been nominated for a Jack Webster Award for his community reporting.
Tenove travelled to Prince George to cover the BC Rail sale, to Wells to examine the provincial government's withdrawal from Barkerville, to Lillooet to look at the impact of legal aid cuts in small-town B.C., and to Alert Bay to explore the community's efforts to develop aboriginal tourism. He elegantly captured the mood of those communities as he examined the effects of declining economies and provincial cutbacks.
Connecting B.C.'s disparate communities to each other is a central part of The Tyee's mandate, and Tenove's reporting exemplifies the best of our efforts. The Webster nomination for community reporting is a special honour, as the category celebrates the work of small radio, print and television outlets throughout the province, where reporters with modest resources strive to do great work.
Abbotsford News reporter Trudy Beyak and Richmond Review writer Thomas Terrio are the other community reporting nominees. This year's list of honourees is dominated by the CBC and the Vancouver Sun, yet it features several other small and outlying media outlets: CKOV63 in Kelowna, CFJC-TV7 News Centre and B-100 (CKBZ) in Kamloops, and the weekly Business in Vancouver are all nominated for their work.
In a province where the economic and cultural gap between metropolitan Vancouver and the rest of the province continues to grow, it's critical that the media in smaller communities are able tell their stories effectively, and that the urban majority in the province gets a chance to hear them.
The Tyee's editors are grateful for the part that Chris Tenove has played in that effort. And we intend to continue delivering work, like today's news feature by Scott Deveau on the closure of rural schools, that rises to Tenove's high standards.

Congratulations Tyee, for Tenove's excellent stories and for all your good work. Congratulations to Chris Tenove as well. Why don't you people takeout small ads, or even ask for free ads -they wouldn't have to be large- in the straight, the westender, and so on. Then you could really have an effect on the next provincial election. Thanks for puuting up with me (so far).
