"I'd like to nominate Liam Casey for work that he began in late 2010, but has continued throughout 2011. In the winter 2010 issue of the Ryerson Review of Journalism, Casey wrote the cover story about suicide and the media's lack of coverage of it. He wrote about his own bout with suicide as a means to get into the story. It was a brave decision. He wrote numerous pieces for the Star, including this one about suicide myths vs. realities. In late 2011, the Star ran a series on teen suicide, which included pieces by Casey. See here. Casey is undoubtedly a great example of the bright future of Canadian journalism."
