Host: Chris Masters
The 2020 winner of the Gold Walkley Award, the highest prize in Australian journalism, is ABC’s Mark Willacy for Four Corners program "Killing Field".
Working tirelessly to find sources within the secretive ranks of the Special Air Service Regiment, the SAS, and spending weeks verifying allegations with family members of alleged murder victims on the ground in war zones, Willacy produced gut-wrenching reports too powerful for the public and the defence hierarchy to ignore.
Willacy is interviewed by Chris Masters, Gold Walkley award-winning journalist and author, the first Australian journalist to be embedded with special forces in Afghanistan, and author of No Front Line on the SAS in Afghanistan.
Walkeys Live: The Journalist Gene is a series of eight one-hour biographical portraits of eight Walkley Award-winning or recognised journalists, exploring the national and international context in which their award-winning work took place; the influences and personal inspirations for their approach; and the professional drive, courage and values that sustain their work.
