Madeline Ziniak, Chair of the Canadian Ethnic Media Association, explains, "The Awards of Journalistic Excellence has been a showcase for highlighting the works of dedicated media professionals for 46 years. As a positive and necessary influence in nation building, it is a lens for interpretation of Canadian values, standards and quality of life. The Canadian Ethnic Media Association advocates the importance and necessity of this third pillar of communication in Canada. We have been lobbying the industry, federal and provincial governments for support and recognition of this essential media sector."
