Launched in 1970 under the auspices of Canada’s third Canadian governor general, the late Roland Michener, the Michener Award focuses on the degree of public benefit generated by media projects, both large and small, in print and broadcast. The annual award is open to daily and weekly newspapers, news agencies, radio and television stations and networks, as well as periodicals. The winners are chosen on the basis of hard-hitting impact, journalistic professionalism, and the resources available for the project. The award is administered by the Michener Awards Foundation. The Governor General will present the 2008 Michener Award for meritorious public service in journalism and the 2009 Michener-Deacon Fellowship during a ceremony at Rideau Hall on June 10, 2009.
