The awards honour the best video, digital and audio journalism in newsrooms across the country.
CTV Kitchener is nominated for best TV newscast in a small/medium market for coverage of the Black Lives Matter rally and march in Kitchener last summer.
A look inside the ICU at Cambridge Memorial Hospital also received a nomination for feature news in a small medium market.
CTVNewsKitchener.ca also received a nomination for overall excellence in digital. Some of our coverage in 2020 included a timeline and map of COVID-19 cases in local schools, a look-back on a year of COVID-19 in the region, a first-hand account of the local BLM march and an investigation into an alleged $48-million fraud at a Waterloo-based gun wholesaler.
Regional winners will be announced on May 18.
