Antoinette Lattouf

Antoinette Lattouf is a multi award winning journalist, broadcaster, author and mental health advocate known for bringing clarity and nerve to hard conversations. She co created Ette Media, co hosts We Used To Be Journos, co founded Media Diversity Australia, and was named to Australian Financial Review 100 Women of Influence. She received Liberty Victoria’s 2024 Human Rights Medal and the 2024 NSW Council for Civil Liberties President’s Media Leadership Award.

Her work spans commercial and public broadcasting across television, radio and digital platforms. Whether reporting on national and international affairs or standing at the centre of the closely watched case Lattouf v ABC, she uses narrative as scalpel and spotlight, exposing injustice, testing power and widening the frame for voices often sidelined.

Her books, How to Lose Friends and Influence White People and Women Who Win, carry the same tone that marks her broadcasting. Even in bleak territory, she threads in dry humour, a sharp aside, a reminder that the absurd rarely sits far from the tragic.

Known for her refusal to dress truth in euphemism, Lattouf challenges systems while sparking national debate − with wit and plain speaking as her signature style.
