What were the Best & Worst bits for you this past week? The high and low point?
My best was this:
Having incredibly accomplished, powerful and influential red-headed woman coming into the Mamamia office is becoming like a regular Wednesday thing. It’s how we roll. Last week it was Julia Gillard who came to live blog at our sister site ivillage.com.au
This week we welcomed Leigh Sales with open arms, open mouths (our interns, one of whom is doing as essay on Leigh’s kick-arse iconic interview with Tony Abbott last month on ABCTV’s 7:30) and many many baked goods.
It was Leigh’s idea. I actually met her through Twitter after being a massive admirer for many years. The woman has a Walkley award (for her book on David Hicks and Guantanamo Bay), she’s worked for radio, commercial TV and the ABC, been a foreign correspondant, print journalist and eight months ago she had a baby son called Daniel.
Some people are just LAZY I tell you.
So I’ve known Leigh for a couple of years and watched her this year hit her stride as a journalist, an interviewer, a presenter and a woman. She’s just in her zone and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. She reads Mamamia and has always been very supportive of what we do. We in turn rate her as one of the women we admire most in Australia and beyond.
