"WA Journalist of the Year 2017"

WA Journalist of the Year 2017 - Rebecca Johns and Jessica Miocevich of Nine Network Australia won the Daily News Centenary Prize – West Australian Journalist of the Year 2017 award. The judges said: “The judges felt the two entries – camerawork by Jessica Miocevich and news story by Rebecca Johns – deserved to share the award as they were intrinsically linked. Most definitely, the story of the riots, sparked by the death of Aboriginal teen Elijah Doughty, could not have been told to the same extent without the confronting images that accompanied it. The camerawoman put herself in the action in a heated and volatile situation and managed to maintain her composure and her focus, to capture one of the year’s most iconic sequence of pictures. At the same time, the story was sensitively handled by the journalist who… was able to link Aboriginal people to violence but also to grief.”
Rebecca and Jessica also won in both Best News Story or Feature – Television/Audio-Visual and Best Broadcast Camerawork respectively, for their story on the Kalgoorlie Riot.
