Gary Adshead is the presenter of the Mornings program on 6PR radio in Perth. A journalist for almost 40 years, Adshead has won more WA Media Awards than any other reporter and was one member of the Channel 9 media team that found missing American Robert Bogucki when he went missing in Western Australia's harsh outback in 1999.[1] He is the only journalist to have been recognised as WA Journalist of the Year on four occasions. In 2017, he embarked on a series of reports about Darling Range MLA Barry Urban that would eventually lead to Urban's resignation from the parliament and a three-year jail term for forgery and other dishonesty offences.[2] Adshead was also a director of Football West from 2014 to 2016.[3]
Career
[edit]Adshead, the son of footballer John Adshead, began his career as a journalist in 1984, working for a regional newspaper in Western Australia. He later moved to Auckland to work for the Sunday News before returning to Perth in 1986 to work for Community Newspapers and then The West Australian.[4]
Over the course of the next decade, Adshead worked for all three of Australia's commercial television stations before returning to newspapers with The Sunday Times and The West Australian, then to radio and, for a short stint, a specialist business publisher, Business News. He returned to 6PR in 2022.
