Journalist Richard Guilliatt resigns from Walkley awards board after critic wins reporting prize

Richard Guilliatt's resignation from the Walkley awards board follows controversy after the Walkley Foundation awarded a prize to Nina Funnell, a journalist who had been critical of him. This came after Guilliatt faced complaints about his podcast, "Shadow of Doubt," which included an interview with Funnell's abusive father, who had been imprisoned. The fallout highlights tensions within the journalism community about ethics, accountability, and the power dynamics between award bodies and nominees. This resignation underscores the ongoing debate about media integrity and the influence of personal and professional biases.
