A special edition of the Now has earned its editor a national award.
Only weeks after we launched Layar - an app that brings the printed page to life - the Now has forever changed the way thousands of people read their newspaper.
Now staff got down and dirty this past week when the "Harlem Shake" invaded the office during what was otherwise a typical newspaper production day. "We were just sitting there working and all of a sudden I was busting out moves and had a yellow boa around my neck," said Now editor Beau Simpson.

The Now has been nominated for two awards in this year's provincial Ma Murray Awards competition.
Imagine opening the Now and watching a video. Or instantly buying items you see in your paper from an advertiser's online store. Or seeing the story behind the story.
