The Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance will undertake a review of the state-based Clarion awards. The review has been prompted by the fallout arising from the Walkley award that was given to a news story on former federal MP Andrew Laming which was subsequently found to have been defamatory. Nine Entertainment journalists Peter Fegan and Rebeka Powell also won a Clarion award for their articles on Laming, who intends to make a submission to the MEAA’s review. The Walkley Foundation recently decided to rescind the Walkley award of Fegan and Powell.
