Ben Hills
Ben Hills is one of Australia’s best-known investigative reporters and foreign correspondents. He has been in the business for more than 50 years, principally working for the Fairfax flagships The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, but also as a producer with Channel Nine’s current-affairs show 60 Minutes. He worked under Graham Perkin’s editorship for six years, establishing The Age’s Insight section as a pioneer in investigative reporting in Australia. He was a correspondent covering the Middle East and Africa in the 1970s, was based in Hong Kong in the 1980s, and was the Fairfax correspondent in north-east Asia in the 1990s. Ben was runner-up in 1989 for the journalist-of-the-year award named after Perkin, and he won the Walkley Award for investigative reporting in 1991. He lives in Sydney.
