News Cowboys: An evening with Channel 7 Newsreader Mike Amor

  • Great Ocean Reads Bookstore 95 Great Ocean Road Apollo Bay, VIC, 3233 Australia (map)

News Cowboys is Mike's new brave and moving book about being a foreign correspondent and the impact it had on his life and family.

For 18 years Mike Amor was foreign correspondent for Channel 7's Los Angeles bureau. He was on the ground during 9/11 and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He reported on mass shootings from Port Arthur to Sandy Hook, covered the earthquake in Haiti and the astonishing rescue of a little girl named Winnie, investigated Mexican drug cartels, came under fire in Gaza – and much more. There were good times, too – following the Olympics or Chloë McCardel’s record-breaking Cuban swim – but the mental and physical toll was incalculable, on him and on his wife and son.

Join Mike Amor in coversation with Karen O'Sullivan for an intriguing evening of stories and a behind the scenes look at the life of a Foreign Correspondent.

Arrive before 6pm to book dinner that will be served after Mike's interview around 7pm.
