The Don McGillivray Prize in Explanatory Journalism is intended to encourage the art of explanatory journalism, that is, a story, column or editorial that explains to the reader a complicated matter in easy-to-understand terms. Don McGillivray (1927-2003) was a reporter, editor and columnist for over 40 years, as well as a professor of journalism at Concordia and Carleton universities. His enduring contribution to coverage of public affairs was as a political and economic columnist in Ottawa.
