Kerry O’Brien on journalism’s successes and failures

“Every year at the Walkley Awards, we honour a craft that holds power in its various manifestations big and small, to account. We should also, all be prepared to reflect on our own failures.” The chair of the Walkley Foundation directors, senior journalist Kerry O’Brien, had a powerful message to share at the Walkley Fund for Journalism Dinner.
