We are indeed very fortunate to have Dr Gael Jennings AM, Board member of the ABC Alumni, generously agree to be our guest speaker at our next gathering on 24th July.

Many ABC Friends will know of Gael’s thirty-five years’ work with the ABC in radio and TV, including as a science and medical reporter, as well as her time on 7.30, Quantum and Catalyst, and of her role with Jon Faine on The Conversation Hour.

Gael is currently a commentator on ABC News Breakfast and an Honorary Fellow at Melbourne University’s Centre for Advancing Journalism. 

At our meeting on Monday 24th July, Gael will speak about the current changes in the structure and budget at the ABC. She will discuss the new five year plan and the transition to more digital services, along with the implications for existing services. In other words, what will the current changes mean for “our ABC”? There will be opportunities for your questions.

Hoping to see you on the 24th!
