Katharine Viner, Lee Glendinning, Madhvi Pankhania and Jonathan Richards, from the Guardian Australia, won the award for the category All Media Multimedia Storytelling with their piece Firestorm, about the Australian bush fires in January 2013.
The category recognises journalism that pushes the boundaries of the craft and platform in innovative and creative ways. Judges placed importance on works that deliver a story imaginatively and effectively – exhibiting richness of content using a range of media and technology.
Judges said "Katharine Viner and the team from Guardian Australia have brought to life the dramatic story of the bushfire that tore through the Tasmanian town of Dunalley in January 2013. Combining text with vivid imagery and high-quality video, they have woven their narrative into a compelling and immersive multimedia reconstruction."
