L-H editor to receive top award Steinþór Guðbjartsson, the Managing Editor of Lögberg- Heimskringla, will be awarded for excellence in ethnic print by the Canadian Ethnic Jour- nalists’ and Writers’ Club (CEJWC) in Toronto June 24. Each spring the CEJWC presents juried awards to jour- nalists for excellence in ethnic print (best news story or fea- ture, and secondly, for the best opinion piece or investigative reporting), radio, TV and Inter- net. In addition, the Sierhey Kh- mara Ziniak Award in honour of the founder of CEJWC, goes to a single person based on a body of work celebrating Canada’s diversity. Steinþór Guðbjartsson is being awarded for the best feature ethnic writing for “an enlightening series on Edmon- ton’s Icelandic community” in Lögberg-Heimskringla. He is the first Icelandic joumalist to be awarded in this manner in Canada and this is the first time that Lögberg-Heimskringla has gotten such national recogni- tion. Recent past winners in the best feature category are Ashoke Dasgupta, Winnipeg Free Press (2004); Margaret Bonikowska, Gazeta (Polish) (2003); Judy Stoffman, Toronto Star (2002); and Mrs. Mampreet Grewal, Vancouver Sun (2001). The CEJWC and its awards program were founded in 1978 through the initiative of the late Sierhey Khmara Ziniak, editor and publisher of Byelorussian Voice who felt the ethnic jour- nalism community needed an inclusive association of joumal- ists and writers in addition to an existing association which ad- mitted only publishers of print media. From its beginning CE- JWC included editors, reporters and freelance writers from print, radio and television as well as writers of fiction and poetry.
