The quality, integrity and diversity of Nine’s journalism across The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and 60 Minutes was recognised at the 67th Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism on Thursday night.

Nick McKenzie and Joel Tozer took home two awards; the first in the Print/Text News Report category with Aisha Dow for their report in The Age, ‘Triple-zero crisis’, and again in the Business Journalism category for their explosive and wide-reaching Nine and 60 Minutes investigation, ‘Star and the gambling industry’s reckoning’. 

Adele Ferguson, Klaus Toft and Lauren Day won in the Television/Video Current Affairs Long (more than 20 minutes) category for their outstanding investigation into the unregulated world of cosmetic surgery, which ran across The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Four Corners, while Mark Stehle, Mags King and The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald team took home the gong for their incredible coverage of the journey through Ukraine. 

Finally, fellow Herald photographer Kate Geraghty was awarded the prize for Feature/Photographic Essay for her gripping coverage of the ‘Invasion of Ukraine – Civilian Impact’. 

National Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, David King, said: “Congratulations to all our Walkley Award winners and also to all those who were finalists. Our success at these awards demonstrates the deep commitment in our newsrooms to deliver high-quality public-interest journalism. It’s the kind of journalism that really makes a difference, and matters to our readers.”
