As this week’s speaker, Lisa Ferri came to talk to our Sixth Form about her career as a trained journalist, having written for America’s most famous newscasters and now currently being Senior Producer for the weekly investigative news show, 60 Minutes. She touched on her ascension, from writing banners for broadcast news to developing expertise in countless areas, from breaking news to field producing to control room experience.

Lisa shared personal and passionate anecdotes about her experience as a woman in her field and about the topical #MeToo movement from her own experience. She also shared honest, helpful advice for those interested in becoming a journalist. The Sixth Form was strongly inspired and encouraged by her talk, many of whom asked questions and waited after the end to talk more with her.
