ABOUT JANE

Jane Dutton’s broadcasting career has taken her from South Africa to some of the world’s leading news networks.

As the SABC’s youngest appointed bureau chief, she headed its London bureau before working with CNN, BBC World and CNBC.

She was a founding anchor of Al Jazeera English, helping launch the channel from Doha.

Back in South Africa, she joined eNCA before moving to Primedia, where she now anchors Eyewitness News’ daily roundup, The Day That Was, and is a familiar voice on 702.

BROADCAST ANCHOR

Jane has anchored live coverage of the capture of Saddam Hussein, the death of Muammar Gaddafi and the Paris and Brussels attacks. She also led on-location coverage of Donald Trump's first inauguration. She is available for live broadcasts, studio presenting, podcasts and voice work.

PANEL HOST AND MODERATOR

Jane hosts conferences, awards ceremonies, panel discussions and leadership events. She keeps the programme on time, gets speakers past their prepared lines and makes sure the audience leaves with something they didn't already know.

MEDIA TRAINING

Jane has spent decades asking hard questions. Now she trains executives and spokespeople to answer them. Sessions cover live and recorded interviews, hostile questioning, crisis communication and keeping your message short and clear.
