I was working my first adult job, a quasi journalistic job, writing content for a website. In the offices, we had banks of TVs, papers, a constant media stream, which was unusual for 2001.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was in a profession that received a lot of media.
I knew I was going to be a journalist when I was eight years old and I saw the printing presses rolling at the Sydney newspaper where my dad worked as a proofreader.
I used to be a journalist.
I was 18 when I got my first TV job.
I started to work in television for three or four years, in 1954. There was one channel of television, black and white. But it could be entertaining and educational. During the evening they showed important plays, opera or Shakespeare's tragedies.
My job was to find interesting material that would give us a quality television show.
I was broadcast-struck from an early age; I had saved up for a tape recorder and started making programmes.
I was doing TV work, theatre work, and some film work in the Philippines when I left.
I started working in the mid-to-late Seventies, when television was not what it is now.
Radio, newspapers, they were normal parts of my life. In those days, you had to go somewhere to watch television and leave something to see it.
