Starting in 1956 with only 6 awards, the Walkley Awards have evolved over time to encompass all aspects of the Australian media landscape. Over the past 56 years, over 1100 Walkley Awards have been awarded to journalists, reporters, cartoonists, photographers, editors and producers who have not only informed but inspired Australia.
In 2010, the Walkley Awards night was a dual celebration. Also commemorating the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Australian Journalists' Association, you can read more here.
