“Jana Wendt”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Jana Wendt ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|j|ɑː|n|ɑː|_|v|ɛ|n|t}} {{respell|YAH|nah|_|VENT}}; born 9 May 1956) is an Australian Gold Logie award-winning television journalist, reporter and writer.

Early life

Wendt was born in Melbourne to Czech parents who emigrated to Australia in 1949; she was educated at the University of Melbourne.

Career

First starting out as a researcher for the ABC,^[1] Wendt's television career began as a news presenter for ATV-10 evening news. In 1981 she then went on to be one of the first reporters on the Australian Nine Network's version of 60 Minutes,^[2] as well as filing stories for the American CBS 60 Minutes.

She was host of A Current Affair, also on Nine, until 1993,^[3] and host of Australian Dateline on SBS and Witness on Seven. She also did a number of specials for the ABC. She returned to Channel Nine in 2003 to host Sunday^[4].

Departure from Nine Network

Rumours of Wendt's departure from Nine began in June 2006, when the network announced it would merge its Sunday and Business Sunday programs. Leaks to the print media, reportedly from high levels within Nine and described by journalists as "ham-fisted", revealed that the network wanted to replace Wendt with Ellen Fanning. Then CEO Eddie McGuire in particular was accused of trying to "white-ant" Wendt. On 1 September 2006 it was announced that Wendt would leave the Nine Network.^[5] News reports suggested she would receive a payout of more than A$2 million in lieu of the remaining two and a half years of her contract.

The absence of Wendt on the Sunday program's relaunch on 3 September 2006 was met with an unprecedented number of complaints that flooded the Nine Network's switchboard.^[6]

Wendt was then sacked from her regular "Lunch" column for The Bulletin magazine, due to the association the magazine has with the Nine Network; both had the same parent company, PBL.

On 12 September 2006, just ten days after she left the Nine Network, Wendt agreed to appear on stage at the Seven Network's 50 Years of Television presentation, where she co-presented the News and Current Affairs section with Sydney news presenter Ian Ross, another former Nine Network employee.

Wendt presented the Logies Hall of Fame award to the program 60 Minutes at the 2018 Logies.^[7]

Personal life

Wendt married producer Brendan Ward in 1984^[8] and they have one son, Daniel.^[2]

In 2004, a painting of Wendt by artist Evert Ploeg won the Packing Room Prize at the Archibald Prize.^[9]^[10]

Awards

Wendt won the 1992 Gold Logie Award for her role as host of A Current Affair.^[11]She was not at the presentation to accept her award, citing commitments to A Current Affair, based in Sydney, while the awards were being presented in Melbourne.
