ABC journalists have walked away with seven awards at the Tasmanian Media Awards in Hobart.
ABC investigative reporter Katri Uibu was named the Tasmanian Journalist of the Year, recognised for her national crowd-sourced investigation into the abuse and mistreatment of children in state care, with judges describing it as "investigative journalism at its best".
"Her work is of huge public interest and benefit, already resulting in one parent being reunited with their child and Federal Attorney General Mark Dreyfus promising to address these horrific problems," they said.
Ms Uibu also took home the Best News Story award for her work.
ABC state news editor Marcus Cheek said Ms Uibu was a deserving recipient.
"Her compassionate and determined pursuit of failings in the national child protection system, was a year-long investigation that required her to navigate immense legal, ethical and editorial hurdles," he said.
State politics reporter Adam Langenberg was recognised for his health reporting, for stories shining a light on Tasmania's guardianship system and the shortage of neurological specialists in the state.
Alexandra Humphries claimed the Public Service Journalism award for her reporting on election grants.
Chris Rowbottom was the sport award for his reporting including on the proposed Hobart stadium and Zoe Kean took home the Science, Technology and Environment award, with judges describing her work as "surprising, original and beautifully told".
A story on the Ashley Youth Detention Centre won the Feature, Documentary or Current Affairs category recognising the joint efforts of Lucy MacDonald, Will Murray, Maren Preuss, Luke Bowden, Dane Meale, Paul Strk and James Dunlevie.
"The quality of research and production values evident in the winning story demonstrates the importance of news organisations committing time and resources into producing meaningful stories, which require attention beyond the 24/7 news cycle," judges said.
Now-ABC reporter Adam Holmes was also recognised for his reporting on the Commission of Inquiry into the Tasmanian Government's responses into child sexual abuse in institutional settings for the Examiner and Advocate.
Best New Journalist was taken out by Makenna Baily, for her reporting with Southern Cross Austereo 7 Tasmania News.
