Sun News Network is getting an award for its special brand of \"hard news and straight talk.\" <\/p>\n
The Canadian Centre for Policy Studies (CCPS) has awarded the spunky start-up the Arthur B. Meighen Award. <\/p>\n
The distinction is given out annually to organizations and people who \"make an outstanding contribution to free speech and the promotion of liberty.\" <\/p>\n
Sun News spokesman Luc Lavoie says the award is a \"great honour.\" <\/p>\n
\"We have been on the air for less than one year,\" said Lavoie. \"I think that this confirms we are already part of the narrative in this country. We're part of the political conversation in this country. <\/p>\n
\"We have brought something to the landscape that wasn't there.\" <\/p>\n
Sun News, operated by Quebecor Media, launched April 18. It will receive the award on its one-year anniversary in Ottawa. <\/p>\n
David Krayden, executive director of CCPS, said Sun News has \"revolutionized cable news in Canada.\" <\/p>\n
\"Sun News has fortified free speech and enhanced television journalism, while demonstrating a commitment to programming that reflects the broad range of views that Canadians have,\" Krayden said. \"We think this is great for Canada and healthy for Canadian democracy.\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
