Thanks a Million: Nominate your hero

Already 2020 has been a year like no other – from devastating bushfires to a global pandemic. We want to honour and say thanks to the kind, brave, selfless people who are helping us through it. Because they are all one in a million.

News Corp Australia is launching its thanksamillion campaign to honour those who have put their safety and lives on the line keeping us safe.

The campaign invites readers to show their gratitude to the essential workers – from retail to teachers and posties – who kept Australia going through the coronavirus pandemic.

Published across all News Corp Australia state-based, regional and community news titles – the campaign will culminate in a national digital honour wall on News Corp Australia websites, with names also published in printed newspapers across the country.

News Corp Australasia executive chairman Michael Miller said the campaign would acknowledge anyone from frontline health, emergency and essential service workers through to teachers, neighbours, supermarket workers and volunteers who all pitched in.

“The heart of our communities has shone brighter than ever this year,” Mr Miller said.

“We’re recognising the strangers taking in families affected by bushfire, our neighbours sharing essential items and the brave professionals and volunteers risking their own health and safety to help others.

“Australians have shown what we can do when we support one another. This campaign encourages all of us to pause and say thank you.”

News Corp Australia’s Community Ambassador, Penny Fowler said: “Everyone knows someone they can nominate”.

“It’s so important to tell the stories of all those Australians whose sole motivation was to help others,” Mrs Fowler said.

“Supermarket workers, teachers, baristas, volunteers, nurses and neighbours are among the Australians who have kept our communities thriving and kept us all going in the past few months.
