The on-air walkout that inspired Georgie Tunny's new chapter
About this episode
Georgie Tunny discusses her journey in sports journalism and her new novel inspired by her experiences in the television industry.
Georgie Tunny has spent more than a decade working her way through Australian newsrooms, from an ABC cadetship to Network 10's flagship desk. In this episode of The Weekend Briefing, Helen Smith asks Georgie what it took to carve out a place in sports journalism as a woman when the industry offered few seats at the table, the exhaustion of breakfast TV and the long road to trusting her own instincts. She also reflects on turning 35, her time on The Project, taking on The Amazing Race Australia with her fiancé Rob Mills and her debut novel set inside the cutthroat world of television, inspired by the friendships and rivalries she's lived firsthand. You can get your hands on Georgie’s debut novel ‘Over to You’ here .
