2021 Australian Football Media Association Awards … on zoom (of course):woman_technologist:t4:

Thank you to the AFMA for the recognition, @7afl @1116sen and to everyone who has reached out with your kind words. Most of you are the same people who have (probably unknowingly) provided me with encouragement and inspiration in moments of self doubt and thinking I wasn’t cut out for this.

I’m normally the type who brushes these things off and finds the praise a bit uncomfortable but if I completely remove myself from it, I am thrilled to be here in a time where nothing more than a footy mad girl from the bush can win a media award for “best opinion/analysis” of the AFL. Yet another moment where I sit back and reflect and feel grateful for all the pioneering women in football who have made these opportunities possible.

Also because I don’t do it enough, thanks to my family and @nc.management for the unconditional support and for being on the ride (sometimes involuntarily) x

And this is the Flying Bulldog paragraph which delivered the Best Action Photo award to Michael Willson.

ABC honoured at the 2021 AFL Media Awards

ABC sports journalists Russell Jackson and Kate O’Halloran have been honoured for their reporting at the 2021 Australia Football Media Association Awards, which celebrate the best media people covering the AFL.

ABC Sport commentator and Offsiders presenter Kelli Underwood was also inducted as a life member of the AFMA.

O’Halloran was named best AFLW reporter overall across print, digital, radio, TV with the judges praising her “just brilliant journalism. Plenty of depth in the story-telling, but it was the emotion captured that set Kate’s work apart.”

Jackson won best print/online feature reporting by an individual for his powerful feature on former St Kilda player Rod “Rocket” Owen, recounting the football star’s decades long struggle with addiction.

“A brilliant wordsmith, Russell Jackson handles the delicate subject matter with care and compassion,” the judges said. “He takes the reader on a sometimes difficult journey, bringing to light the hidden trauma of former St Kilda player Rod ‘Rocket’ Owen.

“His story was the standout in this category – a truly tragic story that has taken too long to be told.”

Jackson also won for best opinion/analysis in print or digital for columns including for his piece examining how the “Moneyball theory” influenced how coaches approached the AFL draft.

The judges said: “Russell’s writing is unique and has a depth of research and detail that stands out. He brought a different perspective to the Collingwood issues in 2021 and provided a fascinating examination of sport’s Moneyball theory.

“Each piece is beautifully written, captivating the reader from start to finish.”

The ABC’s Ben Cameron also received a commendable mention in the Clinton Grybas Emerging Talent Award, which recognises the best emerging talent in football media.

2021 Queensland Clarion Awards

The ABC has won 13 awards at the 2021 MEAA Queensland Clarion Awards, including for Rural Journalism, Investigative Journalism, Health Reporting, Indigenous Issues Reporting, Innovation, Radio Current Affairs, TV Current Affairs and Television Camerawork.

The Clarions recognise the State’s most outstanding reporting over the past year.

Mark Willacy from the ABC Investigations team again took home the award for Investigative Journalism, this time sharing the award with Rory Callinan for their reporting “Who Dares Kills”, part of the long-running probe into alleged war crimes by Australian soldiers in Afghanistan.

The judges said: their “dogged investigation uncovered new details of the senseless slaughter of civilians in Afghanistan by Australia’s SAS. The behaviour of our most elite soldiers abroad reflects on all Australians and the incidents uncovered were later investigated by the Brereton Inquiry into war crimes.”

Jemima Burt took out the Rural Journalism category from an extremely tough field for “Weipa under the thumb of Rio Tinto”, with the judges praising her as “a great example of a journalist in a regional patch working hard to get an important issue, that sits outside of the regular news cycle, out there”.

Best Regional and Community – Broadcast Report went to Rachel McGhee for “Golden age of Drag”, with the judges saying the story “is a prime example of the importance of how regional journalism helps to build community.”

Michael Atkin from 7.30 won two awards, for Health Reporting and Indigenous Issues Reporting, and was a finalist in another four.

ABC News Digital again took the prize for Innovation, with the award this year going to the ABC Story Lab team of Tim Leslie, Simon Elvery , Georgina Piper , Cristen Tilley and Matt Liddy for an entry the judges said “took the noise out of the climate change debate” with innovative graphics and data analysis.

Peter McCutcheon won for best Commentary, Analysis, Opinion & Critique, Jessica Rendall for Multicultural Reporting and Lewi Hirvela for Artwork, Cartoon, Illustration or Graphic.

Sarah Richards was named Most Outstanding Final Year Journalism Student for her work for ABC Online on people with disabilities, such as this story, which the judges said “explored issues not widely canvassed in the media”.

Josh Robertson won best Radio News Current Affairs for his AM report “Cover up in aged care”, which revealed a five-year cover-up at Eventide Aged Care home in Rockhampton.

The Australian Story episode on nine-year-old Quentin Bayles. “About A Boy”, won the TV Current Affairs, Feature, Documentary or Special Broadcast award for the team of Rebecca Armstrong , Angela Leonardi , Quentin McDermott and Helen Grasswill .

Scott Kyle took out the John Bean Memorial Award for Television Camerawork, which is named in honour of the highly respected ABC cinematographer.

ABC winners at the NT Media Awards

Congratulations to the ABC finalists and winners in the 2021 NT Media Awards, which were held in Darwin on Saturday night.

The awards recognise the importance of telling stories from regional and remote communities and also the national interest in these stories.

The full awards announcement is here.

The ABC winners:

TELEVISION/RADIO

Best Current Affairs or Feature

Matt Garrick, ABC News, “Out of the rubble: life after the miners leave”

Judges comments: Matt Garrick’s series of stories were a standout for the judges this year. The stories were balanced and it was clear that he has spent time and effort building trust and finding a variety of voices to contribute to telling both sides of the debate. It importantly included the voices of the people living in the communities and it was great to see these locals at the centre of the stories. The stories were told with creativity and edited beautifully, making them impactful. The judges recognised the amount of time and resources it would’ve taken to put these stories together and congratulate Matt on these important and insightful stories.

Excellence in Radio Broadcasting

Miranda Tetlow, Late Lunch, ABC Radio Northern Territory, ABC Online and ABC Digital, “A leap of faith: Stories from Northern Territory migrants and refugees”

Judges comments: Excellent interviews, showing compassion and an ability to get the talent to open up. They told their own stories. Beautifully crafted, the conversation flowed and was effortless.

ALL MEDIA

Best Online Coverage

Lauren Roberts, ABC News, “Australia’s vaccine rollout”

Judges comments: Lauren Roberts’ vaccine explainer was a standout in the category and benefitted Territorians and the broader Australian public. Lauren took complex medical information about Covid-19 vaccines and presented the information from experts in a way that was easy to understand and digest. The use of illustrations and interactive sections brilliantly allowed readers to go straight to the answers of their most burning questions. The article helped debunk vaccine myths and common misconceptions at a highly relevant time.

“There were numerous strong entries in this category. The judges would like to commend Jane Bardon’s series on Glencore’s MacArthur River Mine rock dump expansion, which drew attention to a potential and concerning repeat of Rio Tinto’s destruction of an Aboriginal sacred site at Juukan Gorge.

Best Sports Journalism

Eleni Roussos, ABC 7PM, ABC News and ABC News Online, “Teenage karate sensation kicking goals in Central Australia”

Judges comments: Eleni’s submission was a unique and well-told sports story for multiple platforms. The topic and choice of talent showed a willingness to network and gain trust in a remote community. The TV script in particular was well written and engaging. An informative and memorable story.

Australian Financial Review’s Michael Roddan made a quip about the Kennedys being the “Bogan Walkleys” while he picked up a trophy for financial journalism.

It got a big laugh from the crowd but organisers took immediate offence, dimming the lights and ushering him off stage.

Minutes later, he was approached by a man who said it was time to leave and he was ejected.
