The Killing Times won the 2019 Walkley Award for Coverage of Indigenous Affairs, netting Guardian Australia’s Indigenous Affairs editor Lorena Allam her first of two Walkleys for Coverage of Indigenous Affairs. Descended from the Gamilaraay and Yawalaraay, Allam led the Guardian investigation tracking the state-sanctioned massacres of Indigenous people across Australia.

And hosting the podcast for the series was Laura Murphy-Oates, the 2018 Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year, an outstanding voice of the next generation of journalists and proud Ngiyampaa Weilwan woman.

Walkeys Live: The Journalist Gene is a series of five one-hour biographical portraits of five Walkley Award-winning or recognised journalists, exploring the national and international context in which their award-winning work took place; the influences and personal inspirations for their approach; and the professional drive, courage and values that sustain their work.

This event was presented by Sydney Festival in partnership with the Walkley Foundation.
