Stranger than Fiction: 2013 Long Form Walkley Award Nominees

It’s a cliché, but true stories are often stranger and more compelling than anything a novelist could invent! Celebrating the tradition of the great Australian story the Walkley Foundation’s longform program recognises the work of writers and documentary makers who not only tackle journalistic issues but provide important forums for discussion and debate. For this episode, we bring you a conversation from the Walkley Foundation’s long form week featuring four 2013 Walkley award finalists from the book, documentary and radio categories who came together to discuss their nominated work and the craft of long form journalism. Join documentarian Haydyn Keenan, investigative reporter at the Australian Financial Review Pamela Williams, Author Paul Ham and ABC Radio National producer and reporter Sarah Dingle. The moderator for this discussion is the Sydney Morning Herald’s literary editor Susan Wyndham.
