Australia’s only ad-free technology news and reviews site just picked up one of the best accolades in the country: a nod at the nation’s IT journalism awards
A bit of news to start the week following some success to end the previous week, as Pickr picks up the Best Independent Coverage award at the 2025 Samsung Australian IT Journalism Awards.
The category is hugely contested and sees entrants from some of the country’s most talented writers, journalists, and content producers, all of whom work across tech and games, and this year, the winner was this publication: Pickr.
There’s a video of the speech below, where Pickr’s editor thanked his wife and kids, his readers, and everyone in the independent media space working right now.
Last year’s efforts were some of the best material Pickr has produced, and included some of the more distinctive ideas for the site, including an investigation into website advertising and the subsequent removal, plus with deep dives into AI music and why artists might be concerned or afraid.
There’s more on the cards for 2025 as we jump into unique articles and some useful additions to the site to help improve things and turn it into one of Australia’s best independent technology news, reviews, and analysis websites. Now with an award to prove that.
