Tony Ryan wins Radio - Best Series of Interviews at Archbishop of Adelaide Media Awards
PBA FM's Tony Ryan has won the Archbishop of Adelaide's citation for Radio - Best Series Of Interviews for his Living Outback and In Search of a Good Death programs.
The awards have been held for 24 years and recognise truth, fairness and integrity in the media.
The judges has this to say about Tony's entries:
Tony’s entries showed us just how powerful the medium of radio is when it comes to telling great stories.
His subject matter wasn’t easy – male suicide in rural Australia and also palliative care for children at Bear Cottage in Sydney – one of only two children’s hospices in Australia.
His interviews were well researched and his lovely manner encouraged the subjects to reveal their story with a candour rarely heard on radio. He got to the heart of two very difficult issues and it was compelling listening. With a steady hand and a compassionate ear he allowed a mother to speak about the loss of her child through illness...and there wasn’t a dry eye in the judging room…Well done Tony, keep up the good work.
Both of these series have been broadcast by the CBAA's Community Radio Network (CRN), and are freely available to stations for local broadcast on request. Contact CRN staff on 02 9310 2999 or email [email protected] for more info.
