Words \u0026amp; Music is a sharp, witty memoir that chronicles the author's remarkable career navigating the turbulent worlds of print journalism and broadcasting, from the commanding offices of press barons to the notoriously complex corridors of the ABC, all populated by the larger-than-life prima donnas who defined Australian public life.\n\nButtrose writes with a keen insider's eye and an entertainingly sardonic wit, presenting portraits of power and personality that are as revealing as they are amusing. The memoir sits at the intersection of media history and cultural biography, offering an invaluable document of a transformative era in Australian broadcasting and journalism. Readers who think they know the public face of these institutions will find themselves questioning everything they assumed once Buttrose leads them backstage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49161038004443,"sku":"2026200011277-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/62b4d326-a1d6-430b-81e2-e33a8724618a.png?v=1787189546","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011277-secondhand-words-music-press-barons-prima-donnas-coping-with-the-abc","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
