Canadian Journalism Foundation pays tribute to Blackberry creators

Its significance was recognized by the Canadian Journalism Foundation Thursday night in a tribute to Research in Motion co-founders Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. The recognition by journalists isn't so surprising. Reporters were among the early adopters of the device, said Lazaridis, as he acknowledged the role it has played in the news business.
