A November 13, 2008, report by David Pugliese in his “Defence Watch” section of the Ottawa Citizen, speaks of “the Ross Munro Media Award, an award handed out yearly by the Conference of Defence Associations (CDA) to a journalist who covers military issues. The CDA receives significant funding and support from the Department of National Defence. The 2008 award, which carries a cash prize of $2,500, will be given to Le Devoir journalist Alec Castonguay during the CDA’s Vimy Dinner ceremony at the Canadian War Museum”. The CDA receives about $500,000 from the Department of Defence to support its efforts in building public support for the war in Afghanistan.
