Young Australian Journalist of the Year


The Young Australian Journalist of the Year award was launched in Australia in 2008 by the Walkley Foundation for Journalism, as a companion to its Walkley Awards for journalism. The latter is known as an Australian equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.
Awards are in five categories: print, television, radio, online and photography, to recognise the best work from Australian journalists aged 26 and under. From these category winners, the Board will choose one candidate who will be named the inaugural Young Australian Journalist of the Year.
