Radio-Canada journalists have been named among the nominees for the Judith-Jasmin awards, the premier recognition of journalistic work in Quebec, as announced on Monday, August 31, 2026.
The Judith-Jasmin awards celebrate the highest quality reporting, investigation and storytelling across all media formats in the province. Each year, entries from television, radio, print and digital outlets are evaluated, and the finalists represent the most distinguished contributions to public discourse and information.
The inclusion of Radio-Canada reporters in this year's shortlist underscores the broadcaster's continued presence in the provincial media landscape. While the specific stories or categories for which the journalists are being considered have not been disclosed, their nomination places them alongside peers from a broad range of outlets competing for the same honor.
The awards, named after the influential Quebec journalist Judith Jasmin, have long served as a benchmark for professional standards in the region. By recognizing work that meets rigorous editorial criteria, the ceremony highlights the role of journalism in fostering an informed citizenry.
The nomination process was completed earlier this week, and the final list of nominees was released publicly on Monday evening. Recipients of the Judith-Jasmin awards will be announced at a ceremony later in the year, where winners will receive the accolade that marks excellence across the province's media sector.
For Radio-Canada, the nominations add to a history of acknowledgment for its reporters' contributions to news coverage, analysis and feature reporting. The broadcaster, as a public service entity, continues to prioritize investigative depth and comprehensive reporting, qualities that align with the award's emphasis on journalistic merit.
The upcoming ceremony will bring together journalists, editors and media professionals from across Quebec to celebrate the achievements of those whose work has been distinguished as the best of the year.
