Best Radio Current Affairs Report
Neil Mitchell
3AW
Neil Mitchell has won the Quill for Best Radio Current Affairs Report for his interviews with an interpreter and a senior Victoria Police officer, about a death in custody.
Judges Citation
The judges said Neil’s work shone a light on the tragic case of a death in custody which may otherwise have gone unreported. They commended him for skilfully interviewing the interpreter who witnessed the appalling treatment of a vulnerable man in police custody in Dandenong, and following it up with an interview that brought senior police to account.
