Charles Lynch Award

The Charles Lynch Award is an annual award presented to a Canadian journalist in recognition of outstanding coverage of national issues as selected by their colleagues in the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery. The award is presented each year at the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner.

The annual award was established in 1997 to honour the legendary Canadian journalist, author and World War II correspondent Charles Lynch.

Formerly handed out under the auspices of the National Press Club of Canada, the Charles Lynch Award is now administered by the Press Gallery itself. Rather than singling out any one achievement, the award is intended to recognize a recipient's overall reputation and respect according to their peers.
