2021 Clarion Awards Review

The Board of the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance has resolved to withdraw three Clarion awards that were issued for coverage of Dr Andrew Laming in March 2021.

The three awards were for: Broadcast Interview, TV News Report and Journalist of the Year. No substitute awards will be issued.

MEAA’s Board acted on the advice of a panel comprising of journalist members.

The action follows the decision by the Walkley Awards to withdraw an award for the same subject matter in November last year.

MEAA has taken steps to advise the parties affected by this decision of the outcome of the review process.
