Co-founders of satirical media empire, The Chaser, Julian Morrow and Charles Firth have been named the hosts of this year’s National Print Awards Presentation Dinner. Morrow and Firth both have a background in news and satire, or as Morrow describes ‘the field of public nuisance’.

Firth is a regular contributor for The Monthly and GQ Australia, and is also a bestselling author with his novel, American Hoax. NPA Chair Susan Heaney admits the pair are an usual choice to host the annual awards, however says, “Like most Australians we just love their particular brand of intelligent and irreverent humour and are very much looking forward to the entirely new slant they will inevitably bring to the National Print Awards.” This year’s 33rd annual Presentation Dinner will be held on Friday May 20 at the Plaza Ballroom on Collins Street, Melbourne. To reserve a place, see the NPA website.
