Peter McEvoy

Peter McEvoy has been a broadcast journalist for almost 20 years as a reporter, producer and executive producer on the ABC's Radio National, the youth network JJJ and the flagship current affairs documentary program Four Corners.

His reports uncovered the dangerous state of regional aviation in Australia, the risk of HIV infection in poorly managed minor surgery, the impact of the 1998 Tsunami in PNG and the harm that Australia's mandatory detention system was causing to the mental and physical health of asylum seekers and their children.

From 2000-2006 he was executive producer of Media Watch - an innovative weekly TV program that acts as a watchdog of journalism throughout the Australian media - including the ABC - which continues to keep Media Watch, despite sometimes being bitten.

He is returning to Australia as Supervising Executive Producer of specialist factual programming ABC TV.
