The CBC, Radio-Canada and The Canadian Press won the 2008 Michener Award for a joint project that analyzed and reported on the use of Taser stun guns.



The judging for the Michener Award goes beyond journalistic merit to consider what the project has accomplished, the absence of self-serving journalistic interest, and the resources avilable to entrants so that larger and smaller competitors are on a more equal basis.
