Isabel Lo is a freelance journalist and the founder of Media Diversity Australia, based in Sydney. Prior to this she was a senior editor at Mamamia, and produced at the ABC for shows including Hack Live, The Drum, Afternoon Live, Lateline Business and News Breakfast. Further abroad she worked for CNN International in London covering notable events including Grexit, the World Economic Forum in Davos, and labour strikes in Asia. As part of the fledgling team that launched ABC News 24 she has worked in almost every position in the newsroom as a show runner, planner, presenter, autocue operator, supervising producer and tea room lady. Born in Australia, she spent her most formative years growing up in Vanuatu, educated by French and British nuns, as the daughter of Chinese merchant-traders. Her vibrant childhood has led her to appreciate the rich diversity of voices that make up the Australian community. Isabel lives in Sydney with her American husband and two children.
