Airdate: 2014 Walkley Awards

The 59th annual Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism will be broadcast live on ABC iview this Thursday ahead of a highlights replay on ABC TV.

Host Sarah Ferguson said recently, “Is this the worst audience in Australia? Will the longest night go more quickly on stage? Will there even be food back there? So many questions.

“It is an honour to present the Walkleys -although one that apparently doesn’t extend to an early look at the results in my category,” she added.

This year’s awards, held at the Dockside, Darling Harbour, carries the theme of courage, reflecting on the perils that journalists continue to face while doing their jobs.
