Veteran ABC broadcaster and long-serving Radio National presenter Julie Copeland has died.
Over her long and hugely respected career in the Australian media, Copeland became a legend for her arts coverage.
She has also been remembered as ‘a respected colleague, treasured friend, mentor and teacher’.
ABC’s Art Show host Daniel Browning said ‘It is an unacknowledged art to draw a person out in a radio interview – and Julie Copeland was a master practitioner of the craft.
‘She also had unfettered access to senior figures in the arts, many of whom would have passed if anybody else were holding the mic.’
