Amber Sherlock thinks TV still isn’t ready for women over 50

In November last year, newsreader and weather presenter Amber Sherlock was let go from her role at the Nine Network, an announcement that made headlines and had paparazzi camped outside her house. Suddenly, after almost 20 years at the network, Amber found herself without the security of a full-time job, only three weeks ahead of her 50th birthday. Now, she is looking towards the future and establishing her next step in a rapidly changing media landscape – and an industry she believes still treats men and women very differently. On this episode of the Stellar podcast, Amber talks for the first time about her shock departure from a job she thought was safe, how she feels about 10 years on and, given this is the first time she hasn't worked in her adult life, the benefits of no longer being a "shift worker".
