In this Edit event, hear from the Herald Sun’s Ashley Argoon and Channel 7’s Estelle Griepink with media lawyer Justin Quill on where to look and what to look out for. There’ll be insights about maintaining meaningful contacts in the legal world, staying across cases, how to make your stories stand out and navigating the unexpected.

Estelle has worked as a reporter across print and television for ten years and is also a fill-in presenter at 7NEWS.
