Dairy News journos scoop awards

Written by 

DAIRY NEWS journalists Peter Burke and Pam Tipa were among winners in the 2013 New Zealand Guild of Agricultural Journalists and Communicators awards.

 

Burke won the Rural Photography Award sponsored by Federated Farmers for a photo that appeared in Dairy News of a herd silhouetted on the horizon at dawn.

Tipa won the guild’s award to encourage and recognise excellence among journalists with three or less years reporting on agricultural issues. Tipa is an experienced journalist, but is new to agricultural journalism having joined the Rural News Group, publishers of Dairy News,  in 2012.

Her portfolio included a Dairy News story on the Fonterra botulism scare and another on the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations.

Susan Murray, a Radio New Zealand journalist on National Radio’s programme Country Life, won the top award.
