Abby Cameron, editor of The Weekly Press/The Laker

Original nomination:

Abby takes pride in telling stories about the community she covers. Whether that's assigning stories in Noel of having female firefighters, or covering Municipal Council in East Hants, to local events like Maitland Launch Festival/EastHants Christmas Parade, Abby strives to provide her readers with insight through all the community. She also has a knack for great layout and design.

Other comments: I have known Abby for five years, and in her two-plus years as editor, she has grown the paper more, and with her knowledge of social-media and utilizing that, it has helped more people in the community-a bedroom community to Halifax-become more aware that they have their own community newspaper.
