Ita Buttrose: Power, Pressure and the Woman Who Changed the Media

Ita Buttrose: Power, Pressure and the Woman Who Changed the Media

Are you feeling sceptical of the news but still craving honesty and integrity?


In this deeply moving episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with Ita Buttrose, one of Australia’s most influential media figures, for an honest and reflective conversation spanning legacy, leadership, resilience and humanity. From her groundbreaking work at Cleo and The Australian Women’s Weekly to her role as Chair of the ABC, Ita reflects on a life shaped by courage, conviction and service.


In this episode you will learn about:


• Losing independence through ageing and living with a mobility disorder

• The emotional adjustment of asking for help after a lifetime of self-reliance

• Starting at Cleo and Women’s Weekly and learning journalism from the ground up

• What working alongside Kerry Packer and Rupert Murdoch taught her about power and leadership

• Media bias, integrity in journalism, and why trusted news matters more than ever


This episode is a reminder that greatness is not about status or accolades, but about doing your best, treating others well, and continuing to show up with purpose, even when life asks you to walk a different path.
