2018 Walkley Awards
The Australian ’s investigative journalist Hedley Thomas and composer/producer Slade Gibson were announced as the winners of Australian journalism’s highest honour in Brisbane tonight.
The Teacher’s Pet explored the 1982 disappearance of Sydney mother Lyn Dawson, bringing investigative reporting to 27 million listeners around the world. Thomas wrote and recorded an average of more than 15,000 words each week, as new informants came forward and the investigation unfolded in real time. Gibson added original music and audio production. The Teacher’s Pet is the only Australian podcast to go to number 1 in the US, the UK, Canada and New Zealand.
The judges described the podcast as “a masterclass in investigative journalism… The investigation uncovered long-lost statements and new witnesses, and prompted police to dig again for the body of Lyn Dawson.”
Having won the Gold Walkley previously in 2007, Thomas joins an elite club. The only other person to win the Gold Walkley twice in the award’s 40-year history is the legendary cartoonist Ron Tandberg, who passed away in January this year. The 2018 Gold Walkley is supported by Apple News. The winners also receive $10,000 in business class airfares thanks to Qantas.
Dean Lewins was named the Nikon-Walkley Press Photographer of the Year for a body of work spanning news and sport photography . Journalist Helen Pitt ’s history of the Sydney Opera House, The House (Allen & Unwin), won the Walkley Book Award . Myanmar’s Killing Fields on SBS Dateline won the Walkley Documentary Award for Evan Williams, Eve Lucas and Georgina Davies .
And in a poignant presentation, Sean Dorney was recognised for his Outstanding Contribution to Journalism over forty years of tireless reporting on the Asia Pacific and especially Papua New Guinea.
Chair of the Walkley Advisory Board, Angelos Frangopoulos, praised the range and depth of this year’s winners. “It’s so exciting to see innovative formats for journalism reaching huge audiences, and the diversity of our winners is a ringing endorsement of the quality of Australian journalism. With 1329 entries this year I want to particularly thank the judges who gave their time to carefully consider each one.”
The 63rd Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism were presented in 30 categories. Just under 600 journalists and media identities gathered at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre for the gala event with the support of Tourism and Events Queensland.
Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones paid tribute to this year’s winners.
“The Walkley Awards are the pinnacle of achievement in the Australian media industry. This is about recognising the outstanding contributions of journalists across the country,” she said. “It’s a privilege to host this event once again in Brisbane, welcoming almost 600 leading journalists to Queensland.”

ABC HONOURED AT 2018 WALKLEY AWARDS
ABC journalists and teams have been awarded for public service journalism, investigative reporting, camerawork, TV and radio news and current affairs reporting, production, photography and coverage of Indigenous affairs at the 2018 Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism, which were held last night in Brisbane.
ABC great Sean Dorney was also recognised for more than 40 years of reporting on the Asia Pacific with the award for Outstanding Contribution to Journalism.
The awarded journalism includes “I Am That Girl”, the Four Corners report which led the NSW Government to call for a review of the state’s consent laws; the 7.30 stories detailing the sexual harassment allegations against entertainer Don Burke; Aaron Hollett’s exceptional camerawork from the devastated Syrian city of Raqqa; and Jane Bardon’s tenacious reporting for AM , ABC RN Breakfast and ABC NEWS Online , which kept pressure on the territory and Federal Governments to respond to the recommendations of the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children.
Acting ABC Managing Director David Anderson said: “Congratulations to all of the ABC finalists and winners – this is a true career highlight.
“The list of ABC finalists showcases the incredible range and depth of the work done by our talented journalists, technical operators and production teams, and their dedication to serving Australian audiences.”
ABC NEWS Director Gaven Morris said: “These stories unearth secrets; expose wrongdoing, misconduct and injustice; hold the powerful to account; give voice to the voiceless; and tell absorbing tales.
“They impact us all and change our nation for the better. They show why public interest journalism has never been stronger or more important.”
