The Sorcerer’s Apprentice – PB

Description

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (PB)

Michael Schildberger

As a newspaper copyboy, Michael Schildberger thought his media career was over when he accidentally broke his editor’s coffee cup.

More then 40 years later, he’s seen Prime Ministers made and broken.

It’s the story of the boy who became a confidant of show business household names, how took Australian Television to new levels, who became one of the country’s most influential radio and television journalists, and who took on the might of Sir Frank Packer, then his heir Kerry Packer.

Above all, it’s the story of a man who’s witnessed and been a part of history, and who’s never lost the value of family – his own – and his family of workmates.

‘The Sorcerer’s apprentice’ is a kaleidoscope of Michael Schildberger’s life in the media – a book of media anecdotes, humour, excitement, and betrayal. For those who remember his days ‘on air’, and for those fascinated by, and attracted to the media, this book is a revelation.
