2012 Australian Press Freedom Media Dinner

Date: Friday 4 May, 2012
Venue: Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney

A celebration to mark World Press Freedom Day, the dinner is the media industry’s major fundraising event and will be held in Sydney at the Four Seasons Hotel on Friday May 4, 2012.

Each year, media and business unite to recognise the importance of press freedom and support the many journalists and media workers under pressure in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the last year more than 100 media workers worldwide have been killed while doing their jobs - their deaths either accidental or targeted.  In our own Asia-Pacific region, 32 colleagues have paid the ultimate price.

Keynote address: 2011 Gold Walkley Award winner Sarah Ferguson for her Four Corners expose on the horrific cruelty to Australian cattle exported to Indonesia’s abattoirs in “A Bloody Business.”
