Dateline wins at the Walkleys

One of our stories has won a 2009 Walkley Award.

Fouad Hady and Geoff Parish’s story ‘City of Widows’ won in the International Journalism category. The story was about war-torn Baghdad searching for its future after the fall of Saddam Hussein. It's the 16th Walkley Award for Dateline.

Aaron Lewis and Geoff Parish’s story ‘The Skin Trade’ was also a finalist in the Social Equity category. It told the story of the albino communities of East Africa, where life-saving sunscreen is a luxury and fear and ignorance led to a spate of savage murders.

A third Dateline story was commended by the Walkley Foundation. Yaara Bou Melhem’s story ‘Jordan: Jailing the Innocent’ was entered in the Social Equity category.
