Walkley Award-winning Fairfax photographer Kate Geraghty’s picture of asylum seekers holding up their identity cards as they are transported in buses into the Manus Island detention centre in Papua New Guinea in 2013 is a reminder of how images recorded by journalists courageous enough to defy official restrictions on media have both humanised and publicised the plight of asylum seekers in our region.Wendy BaconAsia Pacific Networkarticleasylum seekerseditorialFrontlineinterviewsinvestigative journalismmedia lawCommunication.
