The Pearcey Media Awards were run back in the early 2000s to recognise journalists for their consistent quality IT journalism that helped to promote Australia's IT capability and record.
Since then, the Pearcey Foundation has widened it's judging scope and decided that outstanding individuals in the field of ICT journalism
should be recognised in the Pearcey Hall of Fame.
On Friday September 3 2004 the Minister for Information and Communication Technology, Marsha Thomson, presented National Pearcey Media Award to John (Jack) Costello, former editor of Computerworld and Computer Weekly.
