The Elizabeth R Award for Exceptional Contribution to Public Service Broadcasting, was presented to Jean-Gabriel Manguy last night at the annual awards ceremony of the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association held in Nassau, Bahamas.
The award was for his work as Head of Radio Australia. He left Radio Australia - the international radio service of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation - in 2007 after 10 years with the broadcaster.
Mr Manguy is now working as Organisation Development Advisor to Vanuatu Broadcasting Corporation, on a project alongside the former CEO of Fiji Broadcasting, Francis Herman.

Much deserved and overdue. When RA was under attack by the Howard Government and its accolytes within the ABC, Manguy took charge, refocused the mission of the station and actively lifted and maintained the staff\’s morale until rationality returned to government policy. The healthy and vital Radio Australia you see and hear today are a direct legacy of his leadership and stewardship.
