She was there when Trump came to power - and she got TRUMPED!

Join us for a fascinating and lively conversation with award-winning Australian journalist Ginny Stein, former managing editor for South East Asia at the Washington headquarters of Radio Free Asia.

A long time foreign correspondent for ABC and SBS, she has reported from more than 30 countries. And for five years she was based in Vanuatu. She’s now Professor of Journalism at University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

Ginny takes us behind the headlines to share what it was really like reporting from America during the Trump era - navigating politics, power, press freedom and survival in one of the world’s most challenging media environments.

Expect an engaging, revealing and entertaining conversation with one of Australia’s experienced journalists, with plenty of stories you won’t hear in the headlines.

Telling Tales - an evening of true stories from the women of Melbourne media

Thursday night. Wine in hand. Five women, five stories, one rule: it has to be true.

Join Women in Media for an intimate night of storytelling, where our speakers share the moments that shaped their working lives, the light-bulb realisations, the sliding-doors decisions, the eras they're relieved are over. No polish, no PR spin. Just honest, entertaining stories from women who've lived them.

It's time for the 2026 Women in Media Wine-Down at the W Brisbane. Two cocktails, non-stop canapes and unlimited fun while dancing to the Abba Girls!

Join us as much-loved journalist and author Frances Whiting takes us through the year in review - the stories and barriers we broke as we ran alongside the rise of AI, yet somehow we found time to meet deadlines, make podcasts, write books and keep the group chat alive.

Mark the milestones and the madness with your mates in media, comms and production at The Lex in our stunning venue, the W Brisbane, high above the Brisbane River.

The canapes and first two drinks are on us, then sing and dance like it's 1976 with the Abba Girls! You know you know the words, so get ready for audience participation!

And we’re bringing the Christmas presents, with incredible raffle prizes thanks to our terrific supporters. Plus something a little sweet to take home.
