*****RNZ AWARD WINNERS
Bradley backed up her recent win at the NZ Radio Awards with a win for Best feature writing - social issues, including health and education at the Voyagers, for her project Women struggle for treatment as ACC changes policy on perineal tears.
Judges said Bradley's feature on birth injuries "stood out for the high quality of its reporting, its comprehensive and
unblinking coverage of a little reported issue and the real-world impact it had in bringing about changes to ACC
legislation."
Sam Olley was named Best Junior Reporter, after being a finalist at the Radio Awards for Best News or Sports Journalist.
Judges said Olley was an "excellent storyteller on exclusive stories of national relevance including Whangārei hospital sewage leakage, initiating action from the prime minister".
They said she also "showed appreciation for the growing Aotearoa population covering a diverse range of stories and
using various tools such as OIAs to give her angles a unique edge".
RNZ journalists were runners up in the Best Data Journalist, Best Reviewer, Feature Writer of the year and Best Podcast
- Narrative or Serial categories.
The judges also made a special mention of the RNZ App, which was "by some margin ... the best app for the way readers
can access audio or the written word. It is seamless to toggle between radio shows and stories".
