Q&A: Leigh Sales
In a piece that first appeared in Encore, journalist, author and host of 7.30, Leigh Sales talks about an alternate career as a florist and poaching journos from The Australia.
Who is the most powerful person in Australian media and why?
It’s impossible to name any one. But as in all things, the people who control the purse strings are usually the most powerful so for starters, I’d nominate John Singleton, Kerry Stokes, the Murdochs and Stephen Conroy.
What a nice person….
All class.
Question 1, re who is the most powerful in media … powerful to do what? Change people’s minds? That is influence. Change people’s behaviour? That is legislation. Change people’s beliefs? That is preaching … what do we mean by the question?
Just a class act…
