Amanda Gearing - Streets of Your Town The Journo Project

This investigative journo, author and broadcaster has brought stories to light from some of the most remote corners of Australia. From a range of rural towns around Queensland, Amanda Gearing has covered national news for The Australian, The Times in London, ABC Radio National and Crikey. Amanda tells me on this episode of Streets of Your Town - The Journo Project podcast that it all started from a small office in Mt Isa, where her career began. "I think my model of journalism is probably a little different from others. The way I approached it was probably different, probably a bit more intuitive in a lot of ways. I went in very blind dumb and stupid, where angels fear to tread. But I toppled corrupt councils, I had hospitals built, I had roads built, I had public housing upgraded before I turned 22."
