Tom, Emma (1969 - ) |
|
|
|
| Journalist and Print Journalist | |
| Born: 1969 Fairfield, Victoria, Australia | |
Emma Tom was born in Victoria but grew up in Sydney and the northern New South Wales town of Lismore. After finishing high school, she worked as a cadet reporter for a Lismore newspaper, then moved to Sydney to work for the Sydney Morning Herald. After eight years at the Sydney Morning Herald she became a regular columnist for the Australian. Tom's columns focus on women's issues, particularly sexual issues, with language that tests the limits of a broadsheet's tolerance. This has led to criticism from other journalists, but, nevertheless, her journalism has attracted several awards. |
