Canadian Online Publishing Awards

2014 - Best Mobile Solution

I was an editor/digital producer on the small team at Yahoo Canada that launched the Canadian edition of Yahoo News Digest. Daily news digest production involved selecting the lead story and lineup; summarizing and rewriting top daily stories; and using the digital tool that powers the mobile and tablet app to package each story cluster and AM or PM edition (e.g. pull quotes, maps, longreads, image/video galleries, additional articles; adding a quote or factoid of the day, etc.). Two daily digests (morning and evening) deliver need-to-know Canadian and international news, business, sports, entertainment, odd news, celebrity, health, technology, science, arts, politics stories. The app (and our team) won Best Mobile Solution at the 2014 Canadian Online Publishing Awards.
