Professor Peter Greste is an award-winning journalist and foreign correspondent who spent 25 years working for the BBC, Reuters and Al Jazeera in some of the world’s most volatile places. From Afghanistan to Latin American, Africa and the Middle East, he reported from the frontlines and beyond, although he is best known for becoming a headline himself, when he and two of his colleagues were arrested in Cairo while working for Al Jazeera and charged with terrorism offences. Peter’s excellent book ‘The Correspondent’ has just been re-released and is now a major film. Peter will be joined on stage by Byron Writers Festival founder, and genial host Chris Hanley.
