Danny Tran of ABC News Melbourne has won the Radio News Quill with “The Melbourne hospital where radiation leaked through the floor”

Judges’ citation

Danny's story exposing a radiation leak at a major Melbourne hospital just edged in front of a strong field of entries this year. While it wasn't under the pressure of breaking news, it took tenacity and persistence over several months for Danny to turn a tip into an exclusive that forced hospital management to act. Not only fronting their own staff for the first time, but publicly answering to the serious risk.

Highly Commended
