Seven News has been recognised with three Kennedy Awards; Outstanding Television Current Affairs Reporting, the 2017 Cliff Neville Award for Outstanding Team Player and the Paul Lockyer Award for Outstanding Regional Broadcast Reporting.
Hosted by Seven News presenter Michael Usher, the sixth annual NRMA Kennedy Awards was celebrated at a gala ceremony in Sydney last night.
On behalf on Channel Seven we would like to congratulate:
• Seven News presenter Michael Usher who was honoured with the Kennedy Award for Outstanding Television Current Affairs Reporting for Murder Uncovered, a breakthrough investigative news series that blew open some of the worst, most infamous cases of unsolved killings and crimes in Australian criminal history.
• Seven News cameraman Shaun Besgrove who accepted the 2017 Cliff Neville Award for Outstanding Team Player.
• And, Lucy Langtry and Rod Smith from Prime7 Local News on the North Coast who received the Paul Lockyer Award for Outstanding Regional Broadcast Reporting for their coverage of the devastating Northern Rivers floods.
The Kennedy Awards are named after veteran police reporter Les Kennedy, who died in 2011 at the age of 53.
