Over a long career, Paul Holmes has received unprecedented recognition and awards for his work across the news media. After retirement from his long-running, top-rating TV and radio shows, he now pens a hugely popular weekend column in the Weekend Herald while still hosting a weekly TV One current affairs programme. In this medium, he has also excelled, honoured with the Qantas Media Award for best columnist in 2008, after being a finalist in 2007.
