Behind The Media

At 34, the indefatigable Markson is the national political editor for The Daily Telegraph. She broke the news that Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce was having a love child with a former staffer, which cost him his job, and explains how the Canberra Press Gallery works. Sharri spent a year editing Cleo magazine, was media editor of The Australian, won a Walkley award at Seven news, convinced a wealthy businessman to let her have her wedding on his private country estate despite his initial refusal. And recounts how she got access to a survivor of the 2005 London Bombing Victim when no one else could or would.  And there’s the time the ABC baked her a birthday cake.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
