Barbara Pongratz President, MEAA

THE ABC’s master inquisitor, Kerry O’Brien, will take a break from the 7:30 Report desk for a flying visit to Hobart as special guest of the MEAA Tasmanian Media Awards on Saturday March 29. Australia’s most respected (or perhaps most feared) journalist will be joined in conversation with local media legend Judy Tierney. The evening will honour excellence in journalism in Tasmania, including presentation of the Keith Welsh Prize for Outstanding Journalism, which was won last year by The Australian’s correspondent Matthew Denholm.
