Welcome to the Paramount family! What excites you the most about joining our team?

Amelia: I’ve always heard good things about the culture at Network Ten, and in the first few weeks it’s proven to be true. The team atmosphere and positive attitude of everyone in the building is palpable, it’s a great place to be.  

Denham: The exciting format of 10 News+, the enthusiastic and welcoming team, and Craig upstairs at the in-house coffee lounge!

What was it about 10 News+ that appealed to do? Why did you want to be part of it?

Amelia: The opportunity to build a news program from the ground-up was too good to refuse. I’ve also always prided myself on being a journalist, as well as a presenter, so the ability to still chase and tell stories, and to be out on the road as well as on the desk, was perfectly suited to me.

Denham: To be at the ground level of a new show trying different things in a media landscape that hasn’t seen this kind of commitment in a long time. 

What are the biggest challenges in your roles as journalists in 2025?

Amelia: Cutting through the overload of information and repairing the damage to trust done my some of our ‘tabloid’, loud colleagues. Also, encouraging audiences to tune in and engage.

Denham: Sifting through the bullshit, and misinformation. Standing up for the right to have a different opinion to others, and the endless news cycle.

What has been your career highlight thus far?

Amelia: Covering the chaos of Trump’s first presidency was as challenging as it was entertaining. He’s certainly good news value!

Denham: Two trips to Iraq and Syria to report on the war against Islamic state. Oh, and spending a day with Dolly Parton!

The news cycle is 24/7, how do you find ways to switch off and have down time?

Amelia: I have a baby! He’s not very negotiable when it comes to wanting my attention (though he has grown used to listening to the radio and news podcasts 24/7!)

Denham: No down time! However, the phone and the emails cannot reach me when I’m surfing…
