Speaker Jacinta Tynan

Jacinta Tynan is currently a News Presenter with Sky News Australia. Before that she presented news for ABC TV’s international satellite service, ABC Asia Pacific. During her seven years at the ABC she also presented ABC late Edition news and was a relief presenter for the 7pm bulletin, Weekend News and World at Noon. She reported for the 7:30 Report, Lateline and 7pm news. Jacinta’s journalism career has also included presenting ABC TV News in Darwin, reporting for the Seven Network, weather presenter for WIN TV Canberra and Thredbo Snow Reporter.

Jacinta grew up in Yowie Bay (in ‘The Shire’), the third of six children with only nine years between them. As a child she aspired to be on Young Talent Time taking ballet lessons and practicing singing into a hairbrush. But she eventually discovered a love of writing and decided to become a journalist. She studied Communications (majoring in Broadcast Journalism) at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst and got her first big break with Prime TV, Wagga, where she was doing work experience and a shortage of reporters meant she was sent out to cover a story on school sport at Mangoplah, and never looked back.

Her first paying job was at the age of twenty-one as a Reporter with Prime TV, Canberra, but when the newsroom was shut down three months later, she found herself negotiating her first retrenchment package before she’d even graduated from university. Jacinta then spent a ski season in Thredbo as the Snow Reporter filing national TV and radio reports and editing a local paper. When the snow melted she joined Win TV, Canberra, as a news reporter / weather presenter / fill-in news reader where she stayed for the next two years.
