For Suzanne Dredge, this was a story that was very close to home.
Earlier this year, she was producing a groundbreaking Four Corners investigation (How many more?) into the deaths and disappearance of Indigenous women, who are murdered at up to 12 times the national average.
On top of what it uncovered, the story was notable because it was the first time a Four Corners story had been investigated by a team of three First Nations women – Dredge, a Wiradjuri woman who was the producer, Bridget Brennan, a Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta woman who is the ABC's Indigenous Affairs editor and was the reporter, and Brooke Fryer, a Dharawal woman who was the researcher (Queensland Journalist of the Year Stephanie Zillman also worked on the story).
