Mario Christodoulou to executive produce ABC’s Media Watch

·

Award-winning investigative reporter Mario Christodoulou will become executive producer on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Media Watch program. He is replacing Tim Latham.

Christodoulou has previously worked as a researcher at ABC‘s Four Corners, after writing as a cadet reporter for Fairfax suburban newspapers in Sydney’s west.

In 2008, Christodoulou won a Walkley for his coverage of the Wollongong council corruption scandal, before moving to the UK to work as a finance journalist. In 2014, he won the Gold Walkley together with Adele Ferguson and Deb Masters, and later in 2016, won the Walkley Business and Investigative Award alongside Ferguson and Klaus Toft.

Christodoulou will work alongside Media Watch’s new host, investigative reporter and former foreign correspondent Linton Besser.

Besser will take over the Monday night media program from Paul Barry, who will step down on December 2 after 11 years.

“Mario is a really formidable journalist,” Besser told The Guardian. “I’ve worked with him on a couple of things and, you know, he’s one of these super brains walking around on legs.”

Besser and Christodoulou said they are not planning to concentrate on major investigations in a 15-minute program.
