The 10th Anniversary of the Australian War Correspondents Memorial

“AMID DANGERS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, WAR CORRESPONDENTS REPORT WHAT THEY SEE AND HEAR. THOSE WORDS AND IMAGES LIVE BEYOND THE MOMENT AND BECOME PART OF THE HISTORY OF AUSTRALIA.”

These words are inscribed around the granite oculus of the War Correspondents Memorial within the grounds of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

22 September 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the JPW-designed memorial, which honours and commemorates the roles and sacrifices of Australian journalists who have covered the nation’s involvement in wars and conflicts.

JPW acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country and honours their continuing connection to lands, waters, skies, and communities.

We offer our respect to Elders past and those present – as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work.
