| The Atlantic Journalism Awards (AJAs) was
started in 1981 to honour journalistic excellence and achievement in
print and electronic news in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward
Island
and Newfoundland/Labrador. Close to 900 individual journalists have been
honoured since the inception of the AJAs. Today a volunteer Board of
Directors
representing a wide range of news outlets directs the AJAs. The program
is funded by a number of partners and contributors. Judging is conducted
by independent panels of judges and the awards are presented at a gala
awards ceremony in the spring.
