Behind the headlines: Journalists take you behind 2018’s biggest stories

WalkleyTalks Podcast

They’re the stories that grow a life of their own, lighting up the nightly news bulletins and dominating headlines. Political scandals, crimes and justice, sporting glory and humans behaving badly… the first draft of history is a ripping read in our nation’s media. But all these stories start with a single story, a journalist or a team that uncovers the truth, collects the evidence and spins the yarn. Join our panel of top reporters as they take you behind some of the year’s biggest stories. Speakers: Chris Barrett, sports writer for the Sydney Morning Herald Sharri Markson, journalist for the Daily Telegraph Caro Meldrum Hanna, investigative journalist, EXPOSED: The Case of Keli Lane, ABC Moderator: Claire Harvey, deputy editor, Sunday Telegraph This talk was recorded at the State Library of New South Wales on November 15, 2018, as part of our regular Walkley Talks series there.
