Could a citizen journalism piece win a Walkley?

Could a piece written on the Norg ever compete for a Walkley?

Well I think so, and I was more than happy to sign a Walkley entry form for WA blogger and Cit J Liz Murray who wrote some compelling articles for PerthNorg on Aboriginal deaths in custody.

As Liz put it, “I thought I’d push some boundaries & am entering the deaths in custody story & photos for the Walkley”.

It’s not an issue that receives a lot of mainstream press coverage and Liz took it upon herself to highlight the issue and she got a great response.
You can read Liz’s original piecesĀ  here and here.

Good luck Liz, we’re all behind you!
