Former ABC News presenter Karina Carvalho is returning to Melbourne to join Seven News.
Starting Monday, she will take on a presenting and reporting role though current presenters Peter Mitchell, Rebecca Maddern and Mike Amor remain unchanged.
Carvalho exited the ABC in December after 17 years. She began her journalism career in Perth after graduating from the WA Academy of Performing Arts.
She headed overseas to London and worked for BBC World News and worked on HARDtalk as a producer. She headed back to Australia and began work at ABC News in Perth in 2007, later becoming Western Australia’s 7pm ABC News anchor for three and a half years.
In 2012 she moved to Melbourne and co-hosted News Breakfast and later in Brisbane became news anchor for 5 years.
“I absolutely love Melbourne. To join the Seven family is a real honour for me,” she told the Sunday Herald Sun.
“I think across the board at Seven they are looking to do more news, not less news.”
