The Canadian Ethnic Media Association Announces

The Winners

of its 44th Annual Awards for Journalistic Excellence!

The Canadian Ethnic Media Association is proud to announce the winners of its 44th Annual Awards for Journalistic Excellence. In its webcast, scheduled Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 7 p.m. ET, CEMA Awards co-hosts, Karen Johnson and Pauline Chan, introduce the winners of the nine competitive categories, along with the winner of this year’s prestigious Sierhey Khmara Ziniak Lifetime Achievement Award.

CEMA asked Canada’s ethnic media to enter their best work, and they responded energetically! The independent panel of multilingual media experts had a big job screening all submissions before making their difficult decisions. The results present a truly national showcase of Canada’s best ethnocultural journalism from coast-to-coast – Vancouver to Halifax.

The Canadian Ethnic Media Association and its prestigious Awards for Journalistic Excellence are the creations of Founder and Executive Director Sierhey Khmara Ziniak. His legacy lives on posthumously, as evidenced by the many media practitioners whose work bear testimony to CEMA’s ongoing efforts to advocate for Canada’s ethnic media, and to fight for their recognition as important voices for Canada.

Each year, CEMA recognizes the lifetime achievement of one such individual by awarding the Sierhey Khmara Ziniak Award. This final award for 2022 is presented to Aldo Di Felice, President of TLN Media Group, for unswerving dedication to Multiculturalism and its affirmative expression through media.

Following the third annual webcast presentation of its Awards for Journalistic Excellence, CEMA will once again enjoy expanded national coverage provided by several television partners who will broadcast the 44th Awards ceremony, in full, on airdates still to be confirmed. Participating broadcasters are TLN Media Group, OMNI Television, Asian Television Network, Ethnic Channels Group and Stingray Television (CKSA & CITL) of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
CEMA is pleased to welcome back Ontario Creates as the Sponsor of its Annual Awards for Journalistic Excellence. CEMA also thanks its partners, AllinBrand and Cision for their ongoing support.
