John Pilger

A celebration of the life and legacy of John Pilger, whose journalism and films took on power, uncovered hidden agendas and gave voice to the voiceless.

John's estate is delighted to announce that the first John Pilger Scholarship at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, goes to Maddie Fuller.
John wished to encourage young journalists to serve the public, not media proprietors, and tell stories that others might prefer left untold.
"My passion for storytelling comes from a desire to give people a voice," says Maddie. "I believe journalism has the power to inform, inspire and connect communities. I hope to honour the spirit of the Scholarship through my future work as a journalist and by giving back to my community wherever possible." 
Congratulations, Maddie.
