Two Greek Australian journalists are finalists in The Walkley Foundation’s Mid-Year Celebration of Journalism for 2020.

Natassia Chrysanthos, education reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald, is a finalist in the ‘Shortform journalism’ category with her piece, New Year’s Eve bushfire coverage. 

Dion Georgopoulos from The Canberra Times is also being recognised in the ‘Visual storytelling’ category for his amazing photographic piece, Australian Bushfire Coverage.
