Asian Australians Nominated For The Walkley Awards

It is uncommon to see Asian/Asian Australians win or even get nominated for the Walkley Awards. The awards are presented in Australia to recognise and reward excellence in journalism. They cover all media including print, television, documentary, radio, photographic and online media. The Gold Walkley is the highest prize and is chosen from all category winners. 

We found through checking out social media 2 Asian/Asian Australians who are on the nomination list:
