Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/12/2018 (2851 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The countdown is on to the end of 2018 and that means the Free Press is again counting on our readers to select the top stories of the year.
Over the past 12 months, our editors have made the calls, day in and day out, about the stories that deserved our top headlines. But as part of the tradition that began in 2013, the final decision goes to our readers.
And this year we are adding a new twist to that tradition. Since our mandate is to produce journalism that serves our local readership, we are going to narrow our focus to newsmakers and stories that hit closest to home. In other words, we are asking our readers to select the Manitoba Newsmaker of the Year and the Manitoba News Story of the Year.
To start the process, we’ve nominated five stories in each category. But you are also free to nominate stories of your own choice. As well, please make use of the space we have added to this online ballot to add a comment explaining your reasons for the stories you’ve selected. We will make use of a selection of our readers’ comments when we unveil the winning selections as the year draws to a close.
Every assignment needs a deadline, so you have until noon on Friday, Dec. 21 to share your opinions.
Visit wfp.to/2018news to make your selections.
Paul Samyn has been part of the Free Press newsroom for more than a quarter century, working his way up after starting as a rookie reporter in 1988.
