The National Newspaper Awards were established in 1949 by the Toronto Press Club with the financial and moral support of the late C. George McCullagh. Since 1989, the awards have been governed by a Board of Governors representing both daily newspaper companies and the public. The awards are administered by the not-for-profit Canadian Daily Newspaper Awards Programme Administration Corporation.
