The lines are blurring as traditional forms of media are combined online as content for a multimedia audience.
In the wake of job cuts looming over the media industry, a new breed of digital media trained journalists like Maria Tan are emerging in the midst of the controversy.
Maria wins the Hunter Institute Response Ability Prize
A judging panel of media executives from Australia and New Zealand have awarded Maria Tan with the Hunter Institute Response Ability Prize for mental health reporting at the 2009 JEA Ossie Awards.
Announced during the 2009 JEA Conference held at the Burswood Intercontinental Hotel in Perth, Maria was awarded the prize for her Sydneysider article which reveals former Opposition leader John Brogden's personal struggle in the lead up to his controversial exit from politics.
Entitled 'Between the Lines', Maria's feature article unmasks the public persona of the former politician trying to keep it together while silently falling apart.
