Everything about Stan Grant Journalist totally explained
Stan Grant, Jr. (born
30 September 1963) is an
Australian
journalist of part
Indigenous Australian ancestry. Until December 2007, he co-presented the SBS World News Australia nightly news bulletin on Australian Television which he left after a "difficult year" to pursue a "new challenge".
He was born in
Griffith, New South Wales.
Career
He has had a career as a news reader and presenter on Australian radio (
Macquarie Radio Network) and television (
Seven Network,
Australian Broadcasting Corporation), along with a stint at
CNN International in
Hong Kong and
Beijing, responsible for the news network's coverage of
China. (
Hugh Riminton has taken his seat in Hong Kong.)
In 1994, as host of the
Seven Network current affairs program
Real Life he won the
Logie Award for Most Popular Current Affairs Program.
His role as host of
Real Life (a tabloid style current affairs program) was the main inspiration for the character of Mike Moore on the satire
Frontline. His credibility as a journalist has suffered ever since.
In 2007, alongside news reader
Mary Kostakidis he took on the role of co-presenter of the one hour
SBS World News Australia bulletin. His former wife
Karla Grant is also employed on the SBS program
Living Black.
In September 2007, Grant was announced presenter and producer of
ABC Local Radio's Indigenous program
Speaking Out which focuses on culture, lifestyle and political issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in Australia. Grant replaced Kerry Klimm. As of 2008, Grant is currently no longer presenting
Speaking Out.
In December 2007, Grant resigned from SBS.
Anton Enus replaced Grant.
From 2008, Grant joined the
World Bank as Senior Communications Officer, based in
Sydney.
Family and social
Grant is a member of the
Wiradjuri tribe of
Indigenous Australians from the south-west inland region of the state of
New South Wales,
Australia.
Grant was married to Karla with whom he'd three children. A well publicised marriage break-up in 2000, prior to the
Sydney Olympic Games, resulted from his starting a relationship with fellow TV personality
Tracey Holmes. His employment at the Seven Network was terminated as a result, and they moved to Hong Kong.
Grant is the son of
Stan Grant, a Wiradjuri elder.
