The Tyee has been nominated for five Digital Publishing Awards, including one in the general excellence in digital publishing category which recognizes “the publications that succeed in fulfilling their editorial mandate and represent the highest of journalistic standards.”
“What a pleasure to see the overall work of The Tyee team affirmed,” said Tyee editor-in-chief Robyn Smith. “And the further range of nominations speaks to what we see every day on The Tyee: lots of talented folks committed to making the best public interest journalism possible. Times are difficult for everyone, journalists, too. We’re able to stretch for excellence because of the support of our readers, those who contribute monthly as Tyee Builders, and our steward, truly an angel investor.”
