I interview Katrina Blowers, award-winning newsreader and senior reporter for the Seven Network in Brisbane about her journey through the media landscape, the hurtful comments early on in her career from a boss that drove her towards radio, what a day in the life looks like at channel 7 and tips for pitching a TV news story.

Katrina’s been a network correspondent for major stories including the Commonwealth games, state and federal elections, the G20, the Gerard Baden-Clay murder trial as well as natural disasters in Australia and overseas. 

Katrina has also written a best-selling book, is a former restaurant critic and is well known in Sydney for co-hosting the number one Nova FM breakfast show with comedians Merrick and Rosso for six years. 

A challenging on-air experience led to Katrina re-learning everything she thought she knew about confidence. She now teaches CEOs and entrepreneurs how to claim their confidence on stage and in front of the camera and has developed an online course 'Claiming Your Confidence'.
