Nine's journalism recognised at the 2021 Kennedy Awards

The high quality of Nine’s journalism has been recognised at the prestigious 2021 Kennedy Awards, with journalists across its publishing, television and online divisions winning 11 awards in a glittering ceremony last night.

Journalists from The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, 60 Minutes, 9News and 9news.com.au received recognition for their excellence in reporting, in what has been another huge news year.

9News US correspondent Amelia Adams led the charge, taking out the coveted Harry Potter Award for Outstanding TV News Reporting and the Tom Krause Award for Outstanding Foreign Correspondent.

9News.com.au collected the Outstanding Online News Breaking award, while 60 Minutes’ Liz Hayes, Gareth Harvey and Natalie Clancy took out the Paul Lockyer Award for Outstanding Regional Broadcast Journalism.

Mastheads The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and Financial Review collected a total of seven Kennedys, with the Herald’s Natassia Chrysanthos crowned Young Journalist of the Year.

She was joined by Herald colleagues Lucy Cormack and Kate McClymont who were awarded Outstanding Court & Legal Affairs Reporting, Louise Kennerley took out the Outstanding News Photograph, and Cathy Wilcox awarded the Outstanding Illustration/Cartoon, while Damien Ractliffe from The Age was awarded Racing Writer of the Year.

The Australian Financial Review’s Michael Roddan was awarded Outstanding Finance Reporting, while Angus Grigg and Lap Phan were recognised for their investigative reporting in The Sure Thing with the Outstanding Podcast award.

The Sydney Morning Herald acting editor Cosima Marriner said: “The Herald’s success at the Kennedy Awards is testament to the depth, breadth and quality of our journalism. These awards recognise the Herald’s excellence in reporting, photography and cartoons. We are especially pleased that Natassia Chrysanthos’s outstanding work on consent has seen her named young journalist of the year.”

The Age deputy editor Michael Bachelard said: “Since joining The Age as its chief racing reporter, Damien has gone beyond the daily coverage and dived deep into where racing and criminal activity have crossed paths, notably on the Darren Weir saga and stories about the Jarrod McLean EPO syringes. He is a worthy recipient of this award.”

Financial Review editor-in-chief Michael Stutchbury and editor Paul Bailey said: “These awards for outstanding journalism by AFR journalists were well deserved. Michael Roddan’s ground breaking reporting on sexual harassment at AMP rocked the foundations one of Australia’s oldest financial institutions. It was fearless investigative reporting at its very best from a highly accomplished young journalist. The Sure Thing podcast by Angus Grigg and Lap Phan is a grippingly-told narrative that detailed the untold story of how two friends hatched a crime and how they were caught.”

9Network’s Director of News and Current Affairs Darren Wick said: “The two awards that Amelia Adams won is a tribute to her professionalism and experience while reporting under fire, from the middle of the mob alongside cameraman Nick Richardson, during the terrifying scenes of the Washington DC Capitol riots. Liz Hayes, Gareth Harvey and Natalie Clancy’s powerful investigation into Australia’s broken regional health system was deeply personal for Liz.”

9Network Digital Editorial Director Kerri Elstub said: “This is incredibly well-deserved recognition for the 9news.com.au team, which has been pushed so hard covering the COVID-19 pandemic over the last 18 months. Breaking news is what we are all about and this means so much to our talented and hard-working team of editors, reporters, video and social media producers.”
