Carrie Bickmore is one of Australia’s most recognisable newsreaders, helming 'The Project' every weeknight while commanding the Hit Network’s radio drive show 'The Carrie & Tommy Show'.

 

She has an impressive portfolio beyond the Carrie we see on our screens, earning an Order of Australia for raising over $18 million for brain cancer research with her charity ‘Carrie’s Beanies for Brain Cancer’.

 

Jamila Rizvi sits down with Carrie to discuss her career as a journalist and host of 'The Project', the journey of grief, and her upcoming 9/11 special with Network Ten to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the event.
