WOULD YOU GO TO JAIL TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION SOURCE?
On this episode of 'A Cuppa with The Con Versationalist', I chatted with former investigative ABC journalist, Chris Nicholls. 
After receiving credible information from an informant on the condition of anonymity, Chris broke a story about corruption around gaming legislation at the ministerial level.  After being 'hung out to dry' and defying a judge's order to divulge his source, 
Chris was jailed in 1994  for 4 months.  His sentence was the longest handed to a western journalist for withholding his source. 
Chris shares his story on how he shared a cell with the people he had previously been reporting on during his career and how uses the lessons from his experience. Now as a professional speaker with his message 'The Power of One'  Chris is a Crisis Leadership Consultant and Leadership mentor.  His strong message is one person, one action can make a difference.  For more information on Chris's work follow him on LinkedIn
