Dan Nolan and Ben Stivala have won Queensland Journalist of the Year for their work on A Current Affair at The Clarion Awards on Saturday.

They won the award for their work following Yolanda Borucki, a former childcare manager accused of accessing a work computer without her former employer's consent and distributing confidential documents.

Dan Nolan told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, 'both of us are very proud to have won those awards and won that honour, but unfortunately the investigation that we've won it for, there's really nothing to celebrate about this case involving Ashley Griffiths and how it's been handled.'

'There's been a lot of missed opportunities and there's been a lot of failures in this case,' Nolan said.
