Quality journalism is the cornerstone of a functioning democracy. As Australia’s most prestigious journalism awards, The Walkleys are important to that function.
As Walkley finalists and winners, we hold the Walkleys in high esteem and are proud of our association with them. We want the Walkleys to not just continue its traditions, but to become stronger.
With that aim, we ask that The Walkley Foundation:
- establish a climate reporting award
- agree to not renew its sponsorship arrangement with Ampol
- commit to declining any new sponsorship arrangement with a coal, oil, or gas company.
