As an ABC broadcaster Ian has worked within a clear set of editorial guidelines around balance, respect and fairness, but I have always sensed that is his personal approach to work and life any way.
At the heart of his work is a keen interest in seeing regional communities and organisations succeed, he’ll always ask the question that brings clarity and a better understanding.
His approach delivers forward momentum and a sense that everyone has been heard, but overwhelmingly in an industry that often relies on conflict, Ian’s independence and empathy are noticeable and appreciated by all.
