How to reform the current state of the media and how all of us can play a part.
From 1986 Damian Coory spent 13 years as a senior radio and television journalist in Australia, during which time he was a Senior Reporter for Network Ten in their Brisbane and Sydney newsrooms; News Director for Triple M Brisbane; and a senior presenter, and journalist at Melbourne’s 3AW, Brisbane’s 4BC and ABC Radio Queensland. Damian hosted the Drive time program on Brisbane’s News-Talk radio station 4BC in 1995.
Damian has more than two decades’ experience in corporate public relations working across Australia and the Asia Pacific region. He is a specialist in executive coaching, and crisis communications. He worked as Head of Crisis and Issues management for the global PR firm Hill & Knowlton and later served as Managing Director of the Hong Kong and Taiwan businesses of Edelman Public Relations, one of the world’s largest PR consultancies.
Damian and his family returned to Australia from Asia in 2020 and -- noticing a lack of diversity of opinion in the Australian media landscape -- he launched The Other Side Australia podcast, which ran until December 2021 on the Discernable platform. Damian then decided to run for politics as a house of representatives candidate for the Liberal DEMOCRATS in the Brisbane seat of Ryan. He continues to counsel multi-nationals and writes regularly about the media and PR for publications such as "The Spectator".
