NZ Diversity Journalism Awards will be held again
The annual New Zealand Diversity Journalism Awards for best reporting of diversity stories will be launched again next month at the Diversity Forum in Wellington.
Dunedin Star journalist Catherine Wellington took top prize in the inaugural awards last year for the paper’s special edition on ethnic minority communities in Otago. Catherine won a scholarship to fund work experience in Asia.
The awards – designed to reward NZ journalists with less than five years’ experience - attracted about 25 entries in 2008 from TV, radio and newspapers around the country. The judging panel was chaired by Arlene Morgan, associate dean of the Columbia School of Journalism in New York. Other winners were Justin Latif of the Western Leader and Melissa Davies of TV3, with further prizes sponsored by the Pacific Cooperation Foundation.
The awards are supported by the NZ Journalists Training Organisation, the Human Rights Commission, the Asia:NZ Foundation, the Pacific Cooperation Foundation and the Whitireia Journalism School. Details of the 2009 awards will be announced on August 24, when entries will be called for. Judging will held in Wellington in early December.
