Emergency Action Alliance is more than an alliance of Australia’s leading aid charities.  It’s also an alliance of media organisations who all help support the emergency appeals we run.  This week, EAA hosted an event with Australia’s leading media organisations.

In a discussion lead by Geraldine Doogue AO, panellists David Anderson (outgoing ABC Managing Director), Mat Tinkler (CEO Save the Children), Susanne Legena (CEO Plan International) and Mariam Veiszadeh (CEO Media Diversity Australia) talked about the power of alliance and collaboration in emergencies.

In the largest scale humanitarian catastrophes, EAA is a quick and trustworthy option for media to share with their audiences. With most of Australia’s largest and trusted charities as members of EAA, the centralised appeal ensures funds raised are swiftly directed to responding members.

In attendance at the event were senior executives from Channel 9, Network 10, Network 7, The Guardian, ABC, SBS, News.com.au and many more.  Read the media release here.
