Coverage on the Greenbelt, labour exploitation, aging with dementia, the housing crisis and Toronto's troubled history with raccoons received nominations.

"I'm incredibly proud of our nominees who used the full range of journalistic tools - dogged daily reporting, in-depth investigations, beautifully written features, artful photography, engaging digital design, podcasting and more provide unique coverage of some of the defining issues of our time," editor-in-chief Anne Marie Owens said.

Here are the Star's nominations.

Sustained news coverage

The Star is nominated with the Narwhal for its coverage of Doug Ford's Greenbelt scandal, which triggered a reversal from the Ford government, the resignations of two cabinet ministers and a criminal investigation by the RCMP.
