The new SBS weekend news presenter.
Richelle Harrison Plesse is an accomplished international journalist who many Aussies would recognise from reporting and news-reading on our screens. She did not grow up as a Francophile but conversely considered herself an Anglophile! She moved to London after finishing university where she met her French husband and moved to Paris pour l’amour!
Richelle’s career moved into a new field after her French move. She had been doing a lot of travel journalism, lifestyle and culture reporting, but moved into hard news. She had the best of both worlds then by being able to report international news as well as still connecting with all the cultural things she loved. Her chat to me about her time working in newsrooms and also at France 24 was fascinating to me.
Richelle now doesn’t necessarily think of herself as a Francophile but rather she identifies as being French. I did suggest though that one can be both! French and a Francophile! Richelle’s best friend gave her a book when they were young, Almost French, which is about a woman who is a journalist who moved to France for love. I wonder if that book was a little prophetic!
Incredibly chestily blessed !
Cheers
