Torstar board chair John Honderich honoured for contribution to newspaper industry

Torstar board chair John Honderich has been honoured for his lifelong support of the newspaper industry.
Honderich received the first annual Award of Merit from the Advertising Club of Toronto at its annual Newspaper Day luncheon Wednesday. The award honours someone who has worked tirelessly to promote and improve the industry, Newspaper and Magazine Day co-chair Michele Beaulieu said.
Some question print media’s relevancy as technology advances but newspapers are important because they bring communities closer and build a better democracy, Honderich told the crowd.
And ads in print, he said, still hold the most credibility with readers because they trust newspapers.
