Aurora photographer Paula Lerner was recently recognized for her work on “Behind The Veil”, The Globe and Mail’s in-depth multimedia series on the plight of women in Kandahar. Reported by The Globe’s Jessica Leeder with photography by Lerner and produced by Christopher Manza and Jayson Taylor over the course of five weeks, the piece wove together a tale of women suffering and prevailing under the Taliban.

The EPpy Best Media awards, presented by news industry periodical Editor & Publisher, are considered among the highest honors for media-affiliated websites and blogs. “Behind The Veil” won Best Web Special Feature over entries from The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek and USA Today. Earlier this year “Behind The Veil” was also nominated for a prestigious Webby Award as Best Documentary Series.
