The Greek Herald’s Digital Editor among Quill Awards finalists for multicultural media

·

The Greek Herald‘s Digital Editor, Andriana Simos, has been named a finalist in the 28th Quill Awards for Excellence in Victorian Journalism in the ‘Multicultural Affairs and Media’ category.

Miss Simos is being recognised for her feature article on Greek Aboriginal man Andrew Jackomos PSM, who was the inaugural Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Young People in Victoria from 2013 to 2018.

The 26-year-old said she’s grateful to be a finalist in the awards alongside journalists from ABC News and Guardian Australia.

“The article brings to the fore issues of racism, discrimination and stereotyping faced by Aboriginal people in Australia, and ties this with the stigma that also comes with being of mixed-race within the Greek community in Victoria,” Miss Simos explained.

“To be recognised as a finalist for this article and to represent The Greek Herald as the only Greek daily national newspaper outside of Greece, makes me incredibly proud. I wish all finalists the best of luck at the awards.”

Other finalists in the ‘Multicultural Affairs and Media’ award category are:

The Quills are the premier media awards in Victoria. To be selected as a finalist, entrants must have been employed by a media organisation that is based in Victoria or conducts substantial publishing or broadcasting activities in Victoria at the time the work was published.

This year is the first time the ‘Multicultural Affairs and Media’ award is funded by the Gandel Foundation, carrying a $2,000 prize.
