Brian TRUSCOTT Memorial Award in Journalism

Award descriptionA $1,000 award is offered by family and friends in memory of Brian Truscott (BFA'88) to a student enrolled in the Graduate School of Journalism with an interest in business journalism. Brian began his career at the Vancouver Courier, where he worked as a reporter from 1988 to 1994. A move to Hong Kong saw him reporting for the Eastern Express newspaper, and then Finance Asia magazine. From 1998 to 2010, he was variously a columnist, reporter and editor with the Dow Jones Newswires financial news service, in Singapore, London and Vancouver. Brian's friends and relatives remember him as an inquisitive man with a wry sense of humour and an abiding passion for his profession. The award is made by the School of Journalism, in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
