The 2023 PMAC Awards for Excellence in Investment Journalism winners once again illuminate the insight and value that Canada’s financial media bring to the investment community.
The winning entries cover a variety of investor-centric topics, from the background controversy over the installment of a past OSC Chair, a must-read series on navigating volatile times in financial markets, and a practical explainer on Twitter’s poison pill defence against Elon Musk.
This year, the PMAC Awards for Excellence in Investment Journalism introduced an Audio-Visual category to include podcasts, audio and video stories in addition to long- and short-form articles, resulting in a record number of submissions from media outlets across Canada.
