It's great to see our media people treading the traditional paths to jobs around the world. It's always made Australian media professionals much sought after in those countries - the fact they bring overseas experience with them and (hopefully) an Aussie can-do approach. I remember when working in UK commercial radio in the eighties that Independent Radio News (IRN, the networks' national and international service) was chocker with Aussie journos. They could go anywhere, do anything and never worried about having local knowledge; they picked that up as and when needed. Good luck to them all!
