Walkley Award for Journalism Leadership
The Walkley Award for Journalism Leadership is an Australian award that recognises outstanding acts of courage and bravery in the practice of journalism, in the prestigious Walkley Awards series.[1] The inaugural award, for Excellence in News Leadership, was made in 1997.
