The Age’s journalism has been recognised by the Melbourne Press Club with a record 44 nominations at this year’s Quill Awards for Excellence in Victorian Journalism. 

The masthead, which celebrates its 170th anniversary later this year, dominated the shortlist, with nominations across 22 categories, alongside that of The Sydney Morning Herald and Good Weekend.  

Work by journalists, photographers, artists and designers at the mastheads have been shortlisted, including nominations for The Age’s Nick McKenzie and the Herald’s Kate McClymont in the Graham Perkin Journalist of the Year category.

The Age’s Michael Gleeson and Jake Niall are both finalists for the Harry Gordon Sports Journalist of the Year alongside the Herald’s Tom Decent.

“This list of nominations is a ringing endorsement of The Age’s relentless pursuit of public interest journalism and commitment to providing a truly Victorian perspective on news, sport and life in this state,” said The Age editor Patrick Elligett.

“I’m immensely proud to work with the accomplished nominees, and indeed all the reporters, editors, photographers and others in our newsroom who uphold these commitments every day.”
