From the editor
Tonight, one of our very own, reporter Ruwade Bryant, will attend the prestigious 2017 Canon Media Awards in Auckland.
Ruwade, who has been with Franklin County News and the Fairfax NZ family since January, is a finalist in the Student Journalist of the Year category, for his work on Fairfax’s Sunday Star Times and stuff.co.nz during his internship in 2016.
The Canon awards are New Zealand’s most prestigious media awards - showcasing and acknowledging the best of the country’s journalists, photographers, newspapers, magazines and websites - so to be nominated is a huge achievement.
Journalists from throughout the country aspire to be on the finalists’ list, so Ruwade has done remarkably well.
The Franklin County News team is extremely proud of Ruwade and wish him the best of luck for tonight's awards ceremony.
