Lee Lin Chin is an Indonesian-born Chinese-Australian television and radio presenter and journalist best known for her association with the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) network and was the weekend presenter of SBS World News. She has been a news presenter and journalist for many years and in more recent times, has become popular throughout social media. In 2016, she was nominated for the Gold Logie becoming the first SBS personality to be nominated for the award in the station's 36-year run.

Early life

Lee Lin Chin was born in Jakarta, Indonesia to Chinese parents[1] and grew up in Singapore where her media career began in television and radio in 1968.

Media career in Australia

Chin migrated to Australia in 1980 where she began working for SBS TV as a translator for Chinese language films.[3] Wanting to return to broadcasting, Chin moved to ABC Radio in both Newcastle and Darwin.[4] In 1987, Chin moved to SBS World News, presenting the weekend news, where she remained until her retirement in 2018.[5]

Chin has had many roles throughout her career, including news reading, research, reporting, interviews, selecting and programming music, voice-overs for commercials, and producing in-flight programmes for international airlines.

Chin has also starred in a minor role as a newsreader in the independent Australian movie Resistance by Hugh Keays-Byrne. She also had a small role, playing a Thai interpreter, in the 1989 Australian mini-series Bangkok Hilton, with Nicole Kidman.

More recently, Chin has been involved in creating small segments for SBS's The Feed where she presents small comedy segments including 'Pranked with Lee Lin Chin', 'Lee Lin Chin Versus Maggie Beer', 'Celebrity Chin Wag', comedic cooking show 'Lee Linguine' and most recently 'The Real Newsreaders of Sydney' with fellow newsreaders Sandra Sully and Natalie Barr.[6][7]

On 18 May 2015, she was announced to be Australia's spokesperson for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. She gave the "all-important" twelve points to the eventual winner, Sweden's Måns Zelmerlöw and his song "Heroes".[8] She returned to this role in 2016 and gave twelve points to Belgium's Laura Tesoro and her song "What's the Pressure", and also the following year, where the twelve points were awarded to the United Kingdom's Lucie Jones with her song "Never Give Up On You".

On 6 August 2015, The Sydney Morning Herald revealed that the tweets posted on Chin's official Twitter account were ghostwritten by comedian Chris Leben, head comedy writer for The Feed. It is unclear how much of an input Chin actually has in overseeing the account, however, an SBS spokesperson insists that Chin "Has to see everything that goes out in her name." Chin's depiction on The Feed and social media are more or less an exaggeration of herself that are "inspired by" her personality. An SBS insider states that Chin "can be quite funny, which she is never allowed to be on the news." They believe the key to her success is that "people get to see something they don't usually get to see."[9]

In July 2018, Chin announced her resignation stating that "...working two days a week didn't give me enough time to devote to the pub and re-reading the complete works of Shakespeare. So now that I work zero days that issue has been addressed."[10]

In October 2018, Chin was placed number 74 on Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list [11]

Personal life

Lee Lin enjoys travelling and reading, William Faulkner being a particular passion of hers. She is a lover of music, a photographer, a serious film buff and an avid beer enthusiast.[9] Chin speaks conversational Cantonese, Mandarin and Hokkien.[1]
