Annabel Crab on journalism

Annabel Crabb is a renowned Australian political journalist; this is her take on what a journalist is:

 

"One of the great appeals of a journalistic career is that you always start from a position of ignorance whatever the story — that changes a bit the more experience you get — but you have to never lose the knack of starting from scratch and learning as much as you can, in a short period, about somebody else's life or a field in which you are not expert, you must never fall into the trap of thinking that you know what you're talking about all the time."
