About

Journalists are storytellers who bring us tales from our fellow humans, near and far.

In this special event, some of the finest and most acclaimed journalists and non-fiction writers share the stories that transformed them, splitting their careers into the ‘before’ and the ‘after’.

Hear from Walkley Award–winning journalist Lorena Allam, Four Corners journalist Avani Dias, BBC Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet, SBS broadcast journalist Anton Enus, Walkley Award–winning journalist Kate McClymont and bestselling writer Patrick Radden Keefe as they tell a crackling array of real-world anecdotes and behind-the-page insights.

Book

KATE McCLYMONT
