Staff photographers also
photograph a wide variety of pro-
ducts and people for the newspa-
per’s advertisements.

As the newspaper and staff size
grew, so did the degree of profes-
sionalism, said Peters. And as that
happened, the company started to
become more involved in three
North American newspaper
associations.

Since 1980, North Shore News

publication

photographers have won 37
awards for excellence in
photography from these. associa-
tions.

The British Columbia and
Yukon Community Newspaper
Association (BCYCNA) and the
Canadian Community Newspaper
Association (CCNA) are made up
of newspapers from across the
province and country, respective-
ly, and include. the. majority of
non-daily publications.

The Suburban Newspapers of
America (SNA) represents
publications throughout the Unit-
ed States and Canada.

Each association holds annual
contests to determine what they
believe are the best newspaper
photographs from among their
membership.

Often, a natural for these
awards are the hard news events
such as fires and accidents, and,
yes, even dead bodies.

And although Peters recognizes
that some readers are offended by
such photographs, he said that
these events are undeniably news-
worthy.

Publishing the more startling
photographs, explains Peters, can
instill a sense of caution in the
minds of the readers.

The department’s radios are
vital to tracking the hard news
events and to communicating with
photographers on the road should
something newsworthy occur. .

That excitement of never know-
ing what might happen next is
part of the appeal of being a
newspaper photographer.

The North Shore News
photographers include Peters,
Mike Wakefield, Neil Lucente,
Cindy Goodman, Paul McGrath
and —— new to the staff — Brad
Ledwidge, who has just replaced
Stuart Davis.
