Network 10 renews support of the Harry Potter Award
The Kennedy Foundation has announced Network 10 as the sponsor for the Harry Potter Award for Outstanding Television News Reporting.
The announcement:
The Kennedy Foundation is delighted to welcome back Network 10 as sponsor of the coveted Harry Potter Award for Outstanding Television News Reporting in the 10th Anniversary NRMA Kennedy Awards for Excellence in Journalism.
The Harry Potter Award is always a sentimental highlight of the Kennedys, to be staged this year at the Australian Turf Club’s Royal Randwick Grand Ballroom on Friday, August 6.
Announcing the renewed sponsorship of the Harry Potter Award, Kennedy Foundation chairman, Rocco Fazzari, thanked Network 10 for its continued commitment to excellence in journalism and the memory of an industry legend.
“The late, great Harry Potter was the face of crime reporting at Network 10. Harry was a true professional who set important standards for television news reporting and it is very fitting for 10 to once again recognise Harry’s contribution to journalism and those who follow in his famous footsteps,” Mr Fazzari said.
Mr Ross Dagan, 10s Network Director of News Content said: “As the awards mark their 10th year, Network 10 is proud to continue its association and in doing so acknowledge our late, great colleague, Harry Potter.
“Now more than ever we need to honour those who are achieving at their highest and helping to set journalism standards, as Harry did over many decades at 10.”
