About Kerry O'Brien
Kerry O'Brien is one of the most prominent and respected names in Australian journalism.
Kerry has been the National Editor and Presenter of The 7.30 Report, the ABC’s flagship current affairs program, since December 1995.
The program provides up-to-the minute, balanced coverage of the most important issues of the day whether they be political, economic, medical, environmental, social, sporting or cultural.
Kerry came to The 7.30 Report, after six years as host/interviewer of the ABC's highly respected Lateline program. Kerry also anchors the ABC’s election telecasts and campaign debates.
In a 39-year career Kerry O'Brien has worked in newspapers, magazines, wire service, and television as a reporter, feature writer, political and foreign correspondent, columnist, documentary maker, program presenter and interviewer. He has also experienced politics from the inside as a media adviser.
Kerry has covered a multitude of major national and international events including the Whitlam dismissal, state and federal elections, U.S. Presidential elections, coups in the Philippines and the Soviet Union, South Africa's first democratic election, the Hong Kong handover to China, and the September 11 anniversary from New York.
He has interviewed many world leaders including Mandela, Thatcher and Gorbachev, and a diverse range of other top international figures.
While he's best known for his hard-hitting political interviews he's just as much at ease chatting to athletes, artists, scientists, musicians and actors.
Kerry has won many awards including in 2000 the top award in journalism, the Gold Walkley Award.
