Writing for his life: Stewart Cockburn, Crusading Journalist

In this special Talking History Online event Jennifer Cockburn discussed her book, Writing for his life: Stewart Cockburn, Crusading Journalist, with former ABC journalist Simon Royal. As a journalist, Stewart Cockburn was instinctive and fearless. The 16-year-old copy boy who started at the Adelaide Advertiser in 1938 was to have a career in writing, radio and television that spanned more than 45 years. Cockburn’s daughter Jennifer was inspired by her father’s fascination with people and his writings about them. When she started reading through his papers in the early 2000s, she realized that he was a perfect subject for a biography. Writing for his life draws on Stewart Cockburn’s prolific correspondence and journals, his oral histories, public writings and other sources to bring to life a driven journalist and the changing times he so closely observed. This online lecture was part of our regular Talking History series. For more information, and for upcoming events, visit https://www.history.sa.gov.au/where-t...
