Calgary journalist honoured with award

Calgary journalist Michelle Lang has been posthumously honoured with a Michener award.

Lang was killed by a roadside bomb in December while reporting for Canwest News Service in Afghanistan.

Four Canadian soldiers also died in the blast.

The president of the Michener Awards Foundation tells The Globe and Mail, Michelle exemplified the best in journalism and gave her life making sure Canadians knew what was happening in the war torn country.
