Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year Awards
The Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year Awards recognise and reward emerging young Australian journalists and details of the 2012 Awards have been announced by the Walkley Foundation and the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA).
Young Australian Journalists are encouraged to enter their works in the five categories of the Awards; print, television, radio, online and photography. A panel of judges will shortlist three finalists in each category before choosing a winner in each category, who then goes into the running for the Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year 2012.
The overall winner receives a trip to the BBC in the UK and CNN in the US, with the winner of the photography category winning a Nikon 1 camera.
