Anita Jacoby AM discusses the importance of communicating effectively & with empathy

Anita Jacoby is one of Australia’s most distinguished television producers and media executives. With a career spanning more than 35 years, she has created award-winning content across multiple platforms.

A genuine pioneer for female success in Australian media, Anita talks about consistently being overlooked for promotion, as men overtook her on the network ladder time and again despite her experience. You'll hear her thoughts on the world of clickbait and disinformation and we explore the current shortage of the long form, investigative style of journalism Anita made her name with. Anita also tells a story she discovered much closer to home about her father, who had a huge positive influence in her life - a World War II refugee and founder of Sony in Australia - but shortly after his death Anita discovered a dark and tragic side to his life that he had never revealed.
