Jill’s current “portfolio” embraces print, radio and television journalism as well as extensive public involvement with charity works, public speaking etc. It’s a balance that cross-pollinates in terms of story ideas and keeping her abreast of public issues and concerns.
Jill’s presenting roles for the ABC this year have seen her host the “7.30 Report” for six weeks and also conduct several lengthy interviews for the series “2 shot”. The weekly column she writes for the Herald-Sun canvasses a range of comments including political, social and popular culture.
1995 – 1996
Presenter “Today Tonight” The Seven Network
As a presenter of this prime time current affairs program, Jill also took an active role in it’s production, and conducted her own research for field pieces and interviews. In it’s second year, the Victorian edition of the program increased it’s rating by 10%, to the detriment of it’s main rival “A Current Affair”, which lost 10% of it’s viewers over the same period. During this period Jill’s interviewing attracted a degree of critical acclaim…her interview with John Elliott upon his acquittal was reported to be one of the best, as was her coverage of America’s active military re-involvement in the Gulf conflict.
