Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife and senior parliamentary reporter Steven Chase were honoured Saturday night for their continuing reporting into Chinese state interference in Canada
– a problem the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has called the “greatest strategic threat to national security.”
“These reporters represent the finest ideals of journalism,” said David Walmsley, The Globe’s editor-in-chief. “They are tenacious, tough but fair.” Mr. Walmsley pointed out that Mr. Lynch, along with Ralph Allen of The Globe, went ashore as a reporter at Juno Beach on D-Day. An award named after Mr. Lynch, he said, “highlights the best of qualities that today’s journalists aspire to live up to. That is why the recognition of Mr. Fife and Mr. Chase means so much to all of us.
“None of our journalism would have been possible without brave national-security sources who, after years being met by political inaction, reached out to us to alert the public of the scale of Beijing’s foreign interference,” Mr. Fife said. “It is a privilege to be honoured by our working peers for our efforts to uncover how our national-security agencies, government officials and political leaders have dealt with Chinese state interference in Canada’s democracy,” he said.
