A COUNTRY CALLER feature article about three men who were struck by lighting on a remote Northern Territory cattle station has been recognised with a Clarion Award for journalist excellence.
The annual awards, overseen by the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance (MEAA) highlight outstanding work of Queensland journalists in various multimedia categories.
The Caller editor Harry Clarke submitted a story titled ‘Territory tale of trauma, tragedy, hope and adventure‘, which won the Regional and Community Feature Article or Opinion Piece category, sponsored by Serafino Wines.
Judges of the category said:
Harry Clarke’s feature was a delight to read – a poignant piece on the connectedness fostered by shared traumatic experience, which was beautifully and intricately woven to achieve maximum pathos. The story may never have happened, let alone been told, had it not been for Harry who was instrumental in finding and connecting the men and later following their journey on horseback. That made it a very Australian read, thanks to Harry’s trusty gelding, Rev.

The prestigious Journalist of the Year award was won by the ABC Four Corners team of Anne Connolly, Ali Russell and Stephanie Zillman for their report ‘State Control’, which showed the public for the first time how tens of thousands of Australians live under the control of the Public Trustee.
The award for Most Outstanding Contribution to Journalism was given to Seven Network sports journalist and presenter, Pat Welsh, who was recognised for fine reporting for more than 47 years in the industry.
