EFL Record 17.indd - Eastern Football League

THE ROUND TABLE
WITH CHLOE BUGELLY
The Eastern Footballer recently sat
down with Nine News reporter and
Women of the EFL special guest Chloe
Bugelly to hear about her experiences as
a Nine News journalist in both Sydney
and Melbourne. Chloe recently joined
the Women of the EFL at Norwood
Football Club for an enjoyable evening where she shared a
number of stories and laughs with the ladies. Keep an eye
out for Chloe around the EFL in the future, as well of course
nightly at 6pm on Channel 9.
What was your fi rst job in journalism? I was a cadet reporter
at The Border Mail newspaper in Albury.
What led you to want to become involved in the media?
I’m fascinated by people and have a real passion for current
affairs. So it seemed like the perfect fi t.
Who do you admire in the media industry? Locally
it would have to be Nine’s very own Peter Harvey, a
true gentleman. Further afi eld I look up to people like ABC
America’s David Muir and legendary interviewer Diane
Sawyer.
What has been your toughest story to report on and
why? Defi nitely the Kokoda plane crash in August, 2010.
Nine Australians died in the tragedy and it was a story
I was deeply touched by.
Are there any stories that you have reported on that
really stick in your memory? Interviewing the parents of
Pakenham teenager Cameron Lowe – who was bashed
to death – is something I’ll never forget, while I laughed
a lot covering Liz Hurley’s trip down under to see
Shane Warne.
Who have been some of your favourite people you have
interviewed in your job? Chatting to John Howard on his
morning jog around North Sydney was fantastic, while
interviewing Kim Kardashian was a lot of fun.
Is there one person or group you would like to interview or
report on in your career? The ultimate interview would have
to be with Barack Obama while Joan Rivers would be very
entertaining.
Do you ever fi nd some people are diffi cult to interview, and
how do you get around this? I fi nd children are the most
diffi cult to interview, while some politicians can also be
very intimidating. But in general, people love to talk about
themselves, so if you approach the interview with the right
tone and style you normally get a good result.
Have you ever been in any dangerous situations due to a
story you were covering? I got into plenty of hairy situations
on Bintan Island while helping to cover the plight of 78
asylum seekers stuck on board the Oceanic Viking in October,
2010.
How many hours can you sometimes work in a week? When
you’re working on a big story, interstate or overseas, an 80
hour a week is pretty standard– I’ve been on stories where
two hours of sleep is a luxury.
You are obviously involved in TV, have you ever been
involved in other forms of media, and what have you found
are the major differences? I’ve worked in print, radio and
television and they each have their own virtues. You are
spoilt in television because you get to use sound and pictures
– so when you use them both effectively you can create an
extremely powerful story.
WOMEN’S SENIOR CRICKET COMES TO THE OUTER EAST
Do you play Women’s Cricket?
Are you interested in furthering your career to maybe become a
‘VICSPIRIT’ player or even representing your country?
Do you want to play on turf?
Do you want to be part of a very successful Cricket Victoria Premier club?
If the answer was yes, then you should consider the Ringwood Cricket Club’s newly formed
women’s section competing in the VWCA Premier divisions.
If you are interested then you should contact the club representatives for further info and to register your interest.
