Behind the camera – renowned anchor to visit Coast

Australian award-winning journalist and author Leigh Sales AM will be on the Sunshine Coast in December to talk about her new book Storytellers: questions, answers and the craft of journalism.

Hosted by Sunshine Coast Libraries, the In Conversation event will give audiences an inside view of how journalists survive in war zones, how journalists get their leads and adapt to crises, disasters and the unexpected.

Sunshine Coast Libraries invites you to join Leigh and local ABC Sunshine Coast journalist and host Owen Jacques on Friday 1 December, at Venue 114 to deep dive into news reporting, investigations and interviewing.

As the new presenter of the ABC’s Australian Story and the recent host of current affairs program 7.30, Leigh has interviewed many world leaders and celebrities, and also anchored the last three federal elections for the ABC.

From 6pm guests can enjoy light refreshments and live music from local guitarist Innessa, with the event starting at 7pm.

Tickets are expected to sell-out, so don’t delay in securing yours.

When: Friday 1 December

Where: Venue 114, 114 Sportsman Parade, Bokarina

Tickets: $25 per person (bookings essential via Libraries website). Cash bar also available to purchase drinks.
