“She is an unparalleled storyteller whose candid voice and clever wit will make for a special evening,” she added.
Kate McClymont’s illustrious career began as a cadet at The Sydney Morning Herald in 1985. Her fearless investigative work, which includes uncovering corruption in politics, trade unions, sport, and horse racing, has earned her accolades – despite multiple threats to her safety. McClymont’s groundbreaking reporting on the Canterbury Bulldogs’ salary-cap breaches led to a Gold Walkley Award in 2002 and contributed to the conviction of corrupt former Labor MP Eddie Obeid.
The gala dinner and Oration will celebrate Caroline Jones AO’s profound impact as a mentor and leader within the media industry. As Women in Media’s inaugural patron, Caroline Jones AO’s unwavering support for women in media has left an indelible mark.
