Profile: In Conversation with Virginia Trioli (Part 1)

from Fourth Estate Hosted by 2SER

When Virginia Trioli stepped onto the floor of "this horrible soviet-style building" that was The Age newsroom as a young cadet journalist in 1990, she knew she’d found her place — despite the building doing its best to suggest otherwise. What followed was a career that quickly established her as a formidable voice in print, including the publication of her seminal feminist manifesto, Generation F — before a pivot into broadcasting that would shape the decades to come. As part of our ongoing profile series, the two-time Walkley Award winner joins Tina Quinn to reflect on those early years in journalism, and the transition that would take her beyond the newsroom. We'd love to hear from you! Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or tweet us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@fourthestateau⁠
