Join award-winning journalists from The Age as they reflect on the stories of the year

This was the year that Melbourne’s population hit 5 million, we lost yet another Prime Minister to a leadership spill, had jaw-dropping exposés into the behaviour of the banks, and a ball-tampering incident that shocked the nation. Donald Trump continued to dominate headlines, North Korea flexed its muscles, China’s influence grew, and Brexit negotiations came to a standstill. And come the night of our year in review, we will know if we have a new Premier in Victoria.

As the year comes to a close, join our special line-up of award-winning journalists as they reflect on the biggest stories and look ahead to 2019. Hosted by The Age’s Editor, Alex Lavelle, along with co-hosts John ‘Sly of the Underworld’ Silvester, and National Editor Tory Maguire, the panel line-up so far includes:

• Nick McKenzie (deputy investigations editor)
• Richard Baker (investigative journalist)
• Adele Ferguson (senior business columnist)
• Jake Niall (chief football writer)
• Caroline Wilson (AFL columnist)
• Greg Baum (acting sports editor)
• Michael Bachelard (investigations editor, foreign editor)
• Noel Towell (state political editor)
