Charles Lynch Award
The Charles Lynch Award is an annual award presented to a Canadian journalist in recognition of outstanding coverage of national issues as selected by their colleagues in the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery.
The annual award was established in 1997 the to honour legendary Canadian journalist, author and World War II correspondent Charles Lynch.
The Charles Lynch Award is handed out under the auspices of the National Press Club of Canada. Rather than singling out any one achievement, the award is intended to recognize a recipient’s overall reputation and respect according to their peers.
Because of the demise of the National Press Club of Canada in 2007, the future of the Award is now unclear.
