Embracing a new chapter, Laura Tingle, the former political editor for 7.30, steps into the role of global affairs editor at the ABC. This position empowers her to deliver insightful analysis on international events across various media platforms, including TV, radio, and online. Tingle’s journey with the ABC began in 2018, a culmination of her 35-year tenure as a political journalist across prestigious Australian newspapers such as the Australian Financial Review, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald. Reflecting on her career, which started during a transformative era of deregulation and global trade expansion, Tingle emphasizes the importance of comprehensive global reporting in these uncertain times. Her appointment follows John Lyons, who took on the role of Americas editor based in the US to provide coverage on the Donald Trump presidency. Tingle will leverage her extensive experience and skills to serve as a key reporter for ABC, working closely with international correspondents and regional news teams to bring the world’s significant events into context for Australian audiences.
