Judges’ comments: An excellent combination of text, photos and video to tell a newsworthy story of both historical and cultural significance. The multimedia piece celebrates the years of unpaid research that Peter Bakker has devoted to uncovering the names and service stories of Aboriginal soldiers in the Boer, First and Second World Wars. The well-written text story could stand in its own right as a good read. But when published as part of a broader package it complemented and expanded on the content of Bissland’s video. The video was beautifully shot and skilfully edited. Both elements were just the right length for online consumption.
