There’s one thing guaranteed at the annual “prestigious” News awards for journalism. A News Corp Australia journalist will win every category. Judged by News Corp editors, and usually attended by Rupert and/or Lachlan Murdoch, the in-house awards will be handed out across company mastheads at a gala ceremony on 8 November.
Among the nominees announced this week were Kristin Shorten, Matt Cunningham and Claire Harvey for the Australian’s coverage of the acquittal of Northern Territory policeman Zachary Rolfe over the 2019 shooting of Kumanjayi Walker in Yuendumu.
