History

Conducted by The Melbourne Press Club and founded in 2011.

'The Media Hall of Fame honours Australians who have made an impact. Inductees must have helped shape the history of a significant news organisation, the craft of journalism, a town, city, State, nation or the world. Sustained excellence helps, but is not enough. The Hall of Fame identifies game-changers. It is open to journalists, editors, publishers, broadcasters, producers, artists, photographers or others who have had a significant impact by working in the media. Individuals have been inducted for a truly memorable single piece of work or for sustained excellence. All have made a big impact in their field.'
