Please note:

Winners will be announced at the Qantas Media Awards dinner at the Sky City Grand in Auckland on Friday, June 11.

The Wolfson Fellow to Cambridge University will also be named on the night.

Where there is only one finalist, that does not necessarily mean winning the award. In several categories judges elected not to award a winner.

If we have made a mistake in spelling or attribution, please let us know and we will ensure it is corrected.

The awards guest speaker is Tony Maniaty, author of Shooting Balibo - Blood and Memory in East Timor, currently senior lecturer in international journalism at the University of Technology Sydney.
