Guardian Australia has won a Walkley Award for its coverage of indigenous affairs at the 64th Walkley Awards.
Held in Sydney this week, the annual Walkley Awards honour excellence in journalism with stories that chronicle Australia’s history, people and events.
Guardian Australia triumphed for its landmark The Killing Times report, which mapped 270 frontier massacres over 140 years in every state and territory.
The Walkley judges described it as “timely work of national significance that will have lasting impact”, which was both “devastating but important”.
The Killing Times was a collaboration between Guardian Australia’s Indigenous affairs editor, Lorena Allam, and the University of Newcastle Professor Lyndall Ryan. Guardian journalists Nick Evershed, Paul Daley, Andy Ball and Carly Earl and two interns, Ciaran O’Mahony and Jeremy Nadel, also contributed to the project.
