Cameron Slater controversy

In August 2014, following the publication of Nicky Hager's book Dirty Politics which alleged Cameron Slater's involvement with political impropriety, there were calls from online media for Slater's Canon Media Award for Best Blog to be withdrawn. However, the Newspaper Publishers' Association issued a statement saying that the award would not be withdrawn. NPA editorial director Rick Neville said "The only justification for even considering this would be if concrete evidence came forward of illegal or highly unethical methods having been used to obtain the Len Brown story. Nicky Hager has made a number of allegations but these are not the same as evidence or proof."[3]
