The Age’s Julia Medew Young Journalist of the Year

julia-medew-the-ageThe Young Australian Journalist of the Year was last night announced as Julia Medew of The Age.  

The Walkey Foundation-organised event saw Medew recognised for a piece on statistical manipulation within the healthcare sector.

Medew, a health reporter, also won the print news category. She told the audience: “I’m particularly happy that a print journalist can still win this award and I really wish the Australian population would love reading newspapers as much as I do, and appreciated the quality and the hard work that goes into producing them every day. If you judge them fairly they are an extraordinary product and I hope we continue to see the funding and resoruces to keep it that way.”

As well as a tour of newsrooms in London and the US, she also wins $5000 spending money.
