[node:ad]Last year’s winner was Jack Sigvaldason of Northern News Services. I had the chance to sit down with Sig before the CJF gala where he was presented with the award to talk about his 60-year career in journalism, advertising and publishing, the changes he’s seen in the industry and why he loves the North.
