Prue Adams
President
Prue is a veteran of rural media. Starting out at SES Channel 8 Mount Gambier in the late 1980's, she later moved to a ski resort in California, working on the local newspaper and presenting a radio program called The Prue Review. Returning to Australia in 1989, she spent more than 30 years at the ABC, working as a TV news reporter, producer and current affairs journalist with The 7:30 Report. But it was the 25 years spent with the flagship rural program, Landline, that were the most fulfilling and productive. In 2016 she was judged the world's best agricultural journalist, winning the Star Prize in the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) Awards - for a documentary on Q-Fever. Now running Prue Adams Media, she is contracted by Anvil Media to produce agricultural extension videos and podcasts. She regularly hosts conferences and events including Solstice Media's Regional Showcase Awards, Rabobank's Farm to Fork and Nature Foundation's Conservation Conversations. In 2022, she picked up a video camera and starting shooting her own documentaries - producing four of them while on IFAJ international Congresses - all were broadcast nationally on the ABC.
She is the Australian delegate on the International Federation of International Journalists, a Committee Member on the Australian Council of Agricultural Journalists and has been a member of RMC SA/NT since 1996, performing the role of Vice President from 2022-2026.
