This is Woodstein Media’s first and likely only contest. There will be no others until someone succeeds at this task.
The contest is simple, at least according to the more conservative segment of society. All you have to do is pull yourself up by your bootstraps to win.
I ended up walking away from my job on Valentine’s Day. How romantic was that? In the days before my resignation, it was announced that I would be receiving more awards for my writing. It was just a matter of waiting until April 29th to find out if I would get first, second or third place awards. Well, today was that day, and the Ontario Community Newspaper Association announced that Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrum-roll, please?
Got a story idea? Just sent it to Colin@wood-stein.ca and if I think it’s juicy enough to warrant my attention I will look into it.
The work I do as a journalist is enjoyable, and I do not see that it must end. I have worked hard to deliver high-quality stories that have earned community trust and explored experiences in a way that both validated and empowered people who, for years, did not feel valued or included.
