Carleton journalism professor Brett Popplewell has been awarded a prestigious Gold prize at this year\u2019s National Magazine Awards for his penetrating examination of the Toronto Star\u2019s struggle to survive in the digital age, published last May by The Walrus<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Popplewell was named co-winner in the Long-form Feature Writing category at the 42nd<\/sup> annual NMA gala in Toronto on May 31. His article<\/a>, \u201cFinal Edition: Inside the Toronto Star\u2019s Bold Plan to Save Itself,\u201d shared top honours in the category with Toronto writer Anthony Oliveira\u2019s Hazlitt<\/em> feature, \u201cDeath in the Village\u201d, chronicling the aftermath of the Bruce McArthur murders in the city\u2019s Church-Wellesley neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always an honour to have a piece of journalism recognized in this way,\u201d said Popplewell. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a privilege to win gold alongside Anthony Oliveira.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popplewell is among the country\u2019s most decorated magazine journalists, having garnered nine other Gold and Silver awards and 16 total nominations at the NMAs since 2010. Last year, he was a finalist in the Investigative Reporting category for his story \u201cHead Games\u201d, also published by The Walrus<\/em>, about the crisis over concussions in the Canadian Football League.<\/p>\n

That story was also awarded the inaugural Allan Slaight Prize for Journalism as the most outstanding article published in The Walrus<\/em> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Popplewell, a Carleton journalism graduate and a Toronto Star<\/em> reporter from 2007 to 2011, said those years at the Star<\/em> \u201coffered me insight into the inner workings\u201d of what has been this country\u2019s highest-circulation newspaper as he undertook his in-depth probe of its future.<\/p>\n

The story began in the Washington apartment of\u00a0Star<\/em>\u00a0correspondent Daniel Dale, who was earning global acclaim by holding U.S. President Donald Trump to account even as the Toronto newspaper that employed him flirted with financial disaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn one level, this story is a profile of Daniel Dale, a tireless workaholic reporter who has done more than maybe anyone else to fact-check the president of the United States,\u201d Popplewell said after the NMA awards. \u201cBut it\u2019s also a story of the rich past, difficult present and alarming future of the newspaper industry in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The challenge, he added, is for the Star \u201cto save itself from financial collapse in the age of fake news, algorithms and social media.\u201d<\/p>\n

Popplewell, who joined the School of Journalism and Communication as a full-time faculty member in 2017, has written for Bloomberg Businessweek<\/em>, The Canadian Press, The Globe and Mail<\/em>, Sportsnet, Maclean\u2019s<\/em> and many other publications. His work has also appeared in The Best American Sports Writing<\/em> and has been produced into documentary features for broadcast.<\/p>\n

He is the co-author of The Escapist: How One Man Cheated Death on the World\u2019s Highest Mountains<\/em>. (HarperCollins Canada, 2016).<\/p>\n

Popplewell has a master\u2019s degree in the History of International Relations from the London School of Economics and is also a graduate of the Columbia Publishing Course in New York.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining Carleton\u2019s journalism faculty, he taught at Ryerson University and served as a Bureau Chief with the Fellowship in Global Journalism at the Munk School of Global Affairs.<\/p>\n

He currently serves as executive director of the Gordon Sinclair Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
