Boyd also won the general business prize (category one) for his series on Ten’s insolvency.
General business category two was won by the AFR’s Edmund Tadros, Joe Aston, Aaron Patrick and Patrick Durkin for their investigation into CPA Australia and its CEO Alex Malley.
The ABC also won two awards. Carrington Clark won the economy category for his work on how Australia’s population growth is masking wider economic problems, while Peter Ryan won the broadcast award.
The Australian’s Ben Butler won the markets and investment prize for his work on term deposits.
Boyd’s prize includes a 10-day study tour with Columbia University in New York.
AFR won an award for the CPA witch hunt! OMG, that was a low point for Australian journalism and lost me as an AFR reader. I thought AFR was better than that tabloid sensationalism.
Judges – have another read of Joe Aston’s extremely personal attack. Perhaps the real story is why Joe targeted Mr Malley in the first place! (…and yes there is a real story there).
