Opening Night: News Maker: An Evening with Leigh Sales

As one of Australia’s most accomplished journalists, Leigh Sales knows news. In her most recent book Storytellers, the highly respected ABC anchor, bestselling author, and popular podcaster turns her attention to those far more comfortable asking questions than answering them – fellow journalists. Leigh will speak to Indira Naidoo about the art and craft of journalism, and its future in the face of cost cuts and an increasingly divided world. MC is Dan Cox.
