Liz Jackson

Presenter of ABC TV's Media Watch

Liz Jackson is a qualified lawyer and five-time Walkley Award winner who has worked as a journalist at the ABC since 1986.

She has brought her strong interviewing skills to Four Corners since joining in 1994.

Liz won two Walkley Awards in 2000 - one for her acclaimed report on cricket match fixing, "Fixing Cricket", and another for her program on the Northern Territory's mandatory sentencing laws, "Go to Jail".

Her previous Walkleys were for stories on Somalia and the suicide of Aboriginal activist Rob Riley.

In 2002, Liz Jackson won another Walkley Award for her investigation into the NSW Department of Community Services (DoCS), "Putting the Children at Risk".

She has also been awarded two UN Peace Prizes and three Logies for "Fixing Cricket", the Blackhawk disaster and HIV transmission from a doctor's surgery.

In early 2005 Liz was asked to become the host of Media Watch, however she will be returning to Four Corners in 2006.
