A talk on ABC International, an organisation within the ABC which produces and presents reports internationally, will be given on August 17 at Green Point.
ABC International has a vitally important role in enabling local media organisations and reporters internationally to report on issues that affect them through ABC International Development.
The talk will be presented by Helen Grasswill, a Walkley, Logies and Human Rights award-winning journalist who is currently the Deputy Chair of the ABC Alumni.
“As you are aware, our Pacific neighbours are gravely concerned about the impact of climate change and have been advocating for Australia to act promptly and effectively to reduce its carbon emissions over the last decade,” ABC Friends Central Coast spokesperson Ross McGowen said.
“Regrettably those calls fell on deaf ears.
“An organisation such as ABC International can assist the nations of the Pacific to communicate their concerns and issues to Australians more effectively through their own reporters and producers.”
Grasswill will talk about recent developments with ABC International.
She is a founding member and 22-year veteran of the ABC’s beloved Australian Story.
The talk will be given from 12.30-2.30pm on Thursday, August 17, at Green Point Community Centre, 96 Koolang Rd.
Finger food provided by Two Turkeys Catering, tea and coffee will be served after the event.
This is a pre-booked event with limited seating.
