Philip Williams farewells the ABC after a brilliant career
It’s with our profound thanks and gratitude, as well as much regret, that the ABC farewells Philip Williams.
Williams’s distinguished journalism career has spanned 46 years – 40 of them spent at the ABC, the past five as our Chief Foreign Correspondent, a role created especially for him.
He has decided it’s time to unpack his bags for a bit and spend some more time with his family and on his farm.
Gaven Morris, ABC Director News, says: “Philip Williams is one of Australia’s most accomplished foreign correspondents, one of the best storytellers in the ABC’s history and one of the most experienced and skilled field reporters of his generation.
“In the echelons of Australian journalists, and in the ABC pantheon, he sits at the very top.
“He is genuinely loved by ABC audiences. He’s always considered their needs and committed himself to thoughtfully explaining complex issues and disturbing events with care, clarity and compassion.
“He is loved and admired by his colleagues and peers for the quality of his character, his professionalism, his humility and the personal integrity he brings to every story and role.”
