Steve Marshall is the ONE News Australia Correspondent.
Steve hails from the Waikato and is an international award winning journalist and a New Zealand Qantas Media Award winner. He has been travelling the globe for more than a decade covering news, current affairs and sport for television, radio and online services.
Steve is currently the Australia Correspondent for TVNZ based in the Sydney Bureau, covering major news assignments such as the 2010 Australian Federal Election and natural disasters, including the Brisbane floods and Cyclone Yasi in 2011. Steve's close proximity to Asia sees him dispatched to cover regional assignments like the 2011 tsunami/nuclear disaster in Japan.
Steve's video-journalist skills enable him to travel solo for TVNZ, filming and editing his own work on international assignments such as the 2010 Bangkok political riots, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and All Blacks tours to South Africa, Japan and Hong Kong.
Steve re-joined TVNZ in 2009 after six years with the Australian ABC, four of which were spent in Papua New Guinea as a Foreign Correspondent for ABC TV and Radio services.
During his PNG posting, Steve was a reporter for the ABC's international award-winning Foreign Correspondent programme, and in 2009 won a New York Festivals Silver Medal for his Dangerous Liaisons documentary, an investigative piece that exposed the snake anti-venom black market in Papua New Guinea.
Steve was also a UN Environmental Media Award and New York Festivals finalist for his documentary on the sinking Carteret Islands. Many of Steve's stories have aired on CNN and BBC radio and BBC World TV. He has also been a feature writer for Australia Walkley Magazine.
Steve's major assignments include the 2004 Asia Tsunami in Banda Aceh and he returned there for the first anniversary. He also covered the Schapelle Corby and Bali Nine drugs trials, the Football World Cup in Germany and the US Tennis Open in New York.
Prior to the ABC, Steve was a reporter/video journalist at TVNZ for five years. This included a three-year posting in the Australia Bureau during which time he covered the Sydney 2000 Olympics, 2001 Solomon Islands coup and the Bali Bombings assignments the following year.
Other international assignments for TVNZ included the Kuala Lumpur and Manchester Commonwealth Games and assignments in London and Mexico.
In 2010, Steve was elected President of the Foreign Correspondents Association of Australia and South Pacific Board which promotes the professional interests of journalists abroad. In this role Steve MCs and hosts News Maker events that have included guest speakers such as former Australian Prime Ministers John Howard and Kevin Rudd and Oscar winner Cate Blanchett.
