Manage episode 472927026 series 2634696
In this episode of ListenABLE, hosts Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin sit down with Charles Brice, a quadriplegic journalist and ABC News Breakfast presenter, to discuss his career and experiences in the media industry.
"I don't want to be pigeonholed as a 'Disability Reporter'... I've got many other interests outside my injury. So I've thought that was really important for my career"
After a motorbike accident at 19, Charles transitioned from an aspiring pilot to a journalist, using his platform to cover a wide range of stories, including disability advocacy, accessibility, and major sporting events like the Paralympics.
Charles shares his perspective on disability representation in the media, the challenges of navigating the industry as a journalist with a spinal cord injury, and his role in Wheel to Walk, which has raised over $300,000 for spinal cord injury research, but what does it mean for him when it comes to finding a 'cure'?
Whether you're interested in journalism, disability rights, or media representation, this episode offers a compelling look at the intersection of storytelling and advocacy.
In this conversation, we explore:
✅ The Removal of Barriers in a Career
✅ The Adaptability of Flying a Plane
✅ The Behind the Scenes of a National News Show
✅ Restrictions of Travelling with a Disability
✅ Representation in the Media
