CityNews Vancouver journalist Kier Junos has been recognized with the inaugural Emerging Journalist Award by RTDNA Canada.

RTDNA Canada handed out its National Awards of Excellence and Best Canadian Local News Awards, recognizing the best of digital and broadcast journalism, at its National Conference and Awards Gala over the weekend.

CBC News led the National winners, capturing 15 awards and sweeping the Audio categories, while CTV picked up eight awards. The public broadcaster also dominated the Local News Awards with CBC Saskatchewan and CBC Calgary among the bureaus recognized with multiple honours.

Among other awards, CityNews Vancouver journalist Kier Junos was recognized with the inaugural Emerging Journalist Award, presented to a early career reporter who displays excellence in the coverage of original journalism, investigative reporting, or continuing coverage of a beat or major breaking story. With CityNews for the last three years, the association said Junos’ Filipino and bisexual identities “intersect to create a unique lens in his approach to stories with marginalized people.”
