Walkley-winning journalist, Erin Edwards, has been appointed Executive Editor of 10 News First Queensland replacing Holly Green, who recently resigned after nearly 7 years in the role.

Edwards was a senior journalist at Seven for the past 23 years with roles in Mackay, Townsville, the Sunshine Coast and her hometown, Brisbane, before joining 10 News First Queensland. She has a Bachelor of Journalism at The University of Queensland and during her tenure at Seven, won a Walkley Award for Television News Reporting for her story on the Lockyer Valley Flood.

Martin White, Head of Broadcast News, Paramount Australia and New Zealand, said “We’re delighted to welcome Erin to the network. As the editorial leader of the newsroom, Erin will be setting the agenda for quality local and national content for the state. I look forward to seeing her exceptional eye for news, exemplary story-telling skills and professionalism shape the Queensland bulletin.”

Erin Edwards said, “I want to share more of the stories that Queenslanders want to see. We’ll always deliver the breaking news and won’t shy away from the hard stories. But we’ll also highlight the quiet achievers, the community leaders and inspirational Queenslanders who have the stories that make us proud, lift us up and unite us across the state.

“I’m also excited to take this next step in my career with 10 News First. I’ve admired their grit and guts for decades and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with experienced local journalists and a top-notch production team.

“But it’s also an incredible career highlight to be working alongside Sandra Sully, one of Queensland’s and Australia’s most iconic and talented news anchors. To say I’m excited for this opportunity is an understatement,” said Erin.

  1. While it’s good for Erin to join 10 News First QLD, I would like to see 10 restore its dedicated locally produced bulletin in Brisbane. Having a pre-recorded News coming from Sydney. Brisbane viewers wanted live & updated news, not a delayed locally bulletin.

    1. I agree. Australia’s third largest city needs and deserves its own live and local bulletin. Maybe this appointment is a precursor to that happening.

  2. 10 news is a joke. A city the size of Brisbane having their bulletin come out of Sydney does not look good. I used to watch 10 news until they switched to Sandra

    1. I’m sure Sandra is doing her best to handle both the Sydney and Brisbane bulletins. Even so, its long past time for a live and local bulletin to be reinstated in Brisbane to provide complete, comprehensive, and competitive coverage with the other networks.
