Ink Against Empire

Conversation at the Crossroads hosts its Annual Oration, delivered by Antoinette Lattouf.

Lattouf is a multi-award-winning journalist, broadcaster, author and mental health advocate who brings clarity, courage and wit to the hardest conversations. She is co-creator of independent media company Ette Media, co-host of We Used To Be Journos podcast, co-founder of Media Diversity Australia, and a recipient of AFR’s 100 Women of Influence. She has been honoured with Liberty Victoria’s 2024 Human Rights Medal and the 2024 NSW Council for Civil Liberties President’s Media Leadership Award.

Lattouf has worked in commercial and public broadcasting, spanning TV, radio, and digital platforms. Whether reporting or commenting on national and international issues, or standing at the centre of one of the country’s most closely watched legal battles Lattouf v ABC, she has used narrative as scalpel and spotlight—exposing injustice, interrogating power, and making space for voices too often ignored.
