Television journalist

Alison Stewart has been termed one of a new breed of rising young stars in broadcast journalism. As an integral member of the news department at the 24-hour music video cable channel Music Television (MTV), the New Jersey native writes, produces, and delivers on-air her own stories. Like some of her other fellow “alternative” journalists, the field was not her first career choice, and she had started out at the network as an assistant. Yet fortunately for Stewart, in the early 1990s the once moribund heavy-metal music outlet was seeking to diversify and modernize itself, and so began introducing feature stories and specials on current events geared toward viewers; these non-video segments eventually grew into a full-fledged news department.

I'm a Sydney journalist and writer. I've lived in Sydney for more than 30 years after growing up in Cape Town, South Africa. My first book for adults, Born into the Country, was shortlisted for South Africa's AA Mutual Life Vita Young Writers' Award. One of my YA books, The Wishing Moon, was shortlisted for the Australian Multicultural Children's Award and was a Children's Book Council Notable book. My upcoming new YA book, Days Like This, was a finalist in the 2010 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Penguin Australia will publish it on August 1 this year. The idea for Days Like This came from a growing unease about our diminishing natural resources, combined with the rise of a heartless individuality. The book explores the consequences - a world where people are shockingly exploited to serve the desires of an elite few. At the moment, I'm continuing to work on a memoir about my childhood growing up under aparheid. The manuscript is called Cold Stone Soup. It was a runner-up in the 2010 Penguin/Varuna Scholarship. Thanks to Varuna and Penguin, I&#x
