KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism KENNEDY AWARDS Excellence in Australian Journalism 10th Anniversary Sponsorship Prospectus DIMITY CLANCEY AND LAURA MANGHAM OF A CURRENT AFFAIR WIN THE 2020 MIKE WILLESEE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING NIGHTLY CURRENT AFFAIRS THE HISTORY OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS NAMED after the trailblazing indigenous journalist Les Kennedy, the Kennedy Awards were initially conceived in 2011 to recognise excellence in New South Wales journalism. Almost immediately the Kennedys were shaped by the nature of the entrants - attracting journalists from the likes of Four Corners, 60 Minutes, The Australian, A Current Affair, 730 Report, SBS and the Financial Review to become a truly independent, national celebration of Australian journalism. The awards were created by journalists for journalists - open to all-comers with no agendas or historical obligation to affiliation. A decade later the Kennedys have become the Australian media's night of nights - celebrated for their inclusiveness, independence, respect for the past and the value of fostering the next generation of the nation's finest journalists. SANDRA SALLY (RIGHT) PRESENTS THE HARRY POTTER AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING TV NEWS REPORTING J U N E 2 0 2 0 . Les Kennedy THE INSPIRATION OF THE KENNEDY AWARDS Les Kennedy was never in the officers' mess of journalism - and nor did he want to be. He loved nothing better than excelling on the road as a leader of other "shoe leather" journalists. Proud of his indigenous heritage, Les' awareness of his past and the pride he took in it were the twin chambers of a big, generous heart. It was his fabled generosity that fuelled a selfless devotion to a long list of protégés. When he could easily have focused on his own path to even greater success he was preoccupied with blazing trails for others in an often ruthless industry of giant egos too eager to diminish colleagues in the blind pursuit of self-interest. The awards named in his honour have been utterly faithful to the spirit of Les Kennedy’s passion for solid camaraderie -and his total rejection of a mercenary cohort obsessed with a win-at-all costs stampede to the top. Even in death Les floats above them all - a decade after his premature departure from liver cancer at the age of 53. Les literally reported until the end, leaving his hospital bed at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital to arrive in the Fairfax newsroom with an exclusive story from one of his many trusted police contacts. The awards, foundation and scholarship for indigenous journalists named in his honour are a formidable enough legacy, exceeded only by the memories of those lucky enough to have known and admire the man, father, friend, rascal, rebel and reporter. THE KENNEDY PRIZE The prestige of the Gold Spirax for Journalist of the Year has been determined by the quality of winners since 2012. In the inaugural year of the Kennedy Awards, Kate McClymont of The Sydney Morning Herald won for her coverage of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. In 2013 Joanne McCarthy of The Newcastle Herald was voted the winner for exposing child abuse that led to the creation of a Royal Commission. Adele Ferguson, of the Melbourne Age won the 2014 Gold Spirax for a series of investigative stories that led to a Senate investigation into unethical banking practices, affecting more than half a million Australians. The 2015 title was awarded to Caro Meldrum-Hanna of the ABC’s Four Corners program, which exposed entrenched animal cruelty within the greyhound racing industry. Adele Ferguson won her second Gold Spirax in 2016. The Nine Network’s NSW Political Editor Chris O’Keefe was awarded the prize in 2017, presented by Lifetime Achievement Award winner and current chair of the ABC Ita Buttrose. The following year The Daily Telegraph’s Sharri Markson won the award for exposing a scandal that led to the downfall of a Deputy Prime Minister – and in 2019 Anne Connolly (right) took the prize after her ABC investigations into abuse and neglect in nursing homes led to a Royal Commission. In 2020 Nick McKenzie won the Kennedy Prize for his series of groundbreaking stories for Nine's 60 Minutes and The Age.

At the beginning our naiviety led us to believe that reports miraculously land in the ‘in’ file, photos are taken by themselves and the final magazine arrives in all its splendour out of thin air. After two weeks, this illusory belief was shattered, thanks to Mrs. Shepherd’s constant reminders and imposed deadlines, the Collegian Committee set about performing its actual task. People owning reports were hounded and harassed (by the secret Collegian Force) photography sessions were ruled with an iron fist and the school body was subjected to the revolutionary 'A-:-- torture, technique of Collegian Committee advertising (thanks Mrs. Pyett for the loan of your sunnies). Through these trials and tribulations the Collegian Committee has brought about several changes as you will no doubt notice. We hope that these alterations improve the overall effect of the 1991 Collegian. Finally as the year draws to an end, I would like to thank Mrs. Shepherd plus Mr. Thompson for their invaluable help and the entire Collegian Committee for their tireless work. I am sure that they’d all agree that working on the Collegian was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
