He is a veteran reporter for the Manitoba Co-operator newspaper.
Dawson, who retired last July, was lauded by the hall of fame for his work to build “awareness and understanding in the agricultural community through unbiased details and well-researched reporting on complex issues affecting the industry, and those who make their living from it.”
In 2017 he won first prize in the news category for the North American Agricultural Journalists’ association.
Dawson worked in agriculture journalism since 1980.
I am honoured to call him a friend.
