Voyager Media Awards (25 May)
Tonight members of my team and I attended the annual Voyager Media Awards. Both my son and I were finalists. I was a joint winner for Te Tohu Kairangi Award/Best Māori Journalist alongside the wonderful Mihingarangi Forbes. My son Kimiora Hikurangi missed out on the Gordon McLauchlan Journalism Award � but what a privilege to be up against Greg Bruce and Mike White (flasssssh).
