From agenda-setting investigations to heart-tugging photographs, Seven West Media has been recognised with a raft of nominations in this year’s WA Media Awards.

Seven West Media reporters and photographers featured strongly in the shortlist of finalists, with The West’s business reporter Matt McKenzie leading the way with three nominations.

McKenzie is a finalist for the prestigious Arthur Lovekin prize for excellence in journalism for his stories about dozens of customers of Inspired Property Group being left waiting for unfinished homes, triggering a State Government review of building laws.

His entries on WA’s economic diversification battle, causes of inflation and the cost of Metronet were also nominated in the multimedia feature and multimedia news categories.
