Finalists for the 2018 Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism revealed
The finalists for the 2018 Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism have been announced in a series of events across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Nominees include the journalists behind some of the year’s biggest stories, including the investigation into Burke’s Backyard star Don Burke, the Thai cave rescue and ex-Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce’s child.
The award winners will be announced at a gala dinner on Thursday November 22 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Why are people being nominated for a report on Don Burke when nothing was proven in court and this is just encouraging trial by media and blindsiding the accused? It seems rather shameful and not something to get an award.
