Ethics, Media, and the Power of Sport

Tracey Holmes

Award-Winning Journalist & Broadcaster,
Expert in Sports Media, Ethics & Global Affairs

Tracey Holmes is one of Australia’s most internationally recognised and rewarded journalists having spent almost four decades reporting on the world through the prism of sport. She has been a pioneering voice in Australian broadcasting, as the first female host of a national sports program and as an advocate for gender equality in sport, in 2021 being recognised by the IOC for her ‘remarkable contributions to the development, encouragement and reinforcement of women and girls’ participation in sport’.

Her work is focused on the intersection of sport, politics, business, culture, and news. Her weekly podcast, The Sports Ambassador, explores in detail the stories behind the headlines, it can be found on Patreon, Substack, Spotify, YouTube and across most social media platforms. She is often sought by those in high office for her perspectives and advice.

The Eye of the Dragonfly is her most recent book offering a 360-degree view of the world through the lens of sport, published by Simon and Schuster. As Deputy Chair of the Oceania Australia Foundation, a Council Member of Indigenous Football Australia, a member of the IOC Press Committee, and a Mentor for the IOC Young Reporters program, Tracey is actively involved in promoting sport as a tool for social change and empowerment.

Tracey has a Master’s degree in Communications, is currently studying a Masters in International Sports Diplomacy at the Hungary University of Sports Science, and (when time permits) will finish her Master’s in Sports Law at Melbourne University.
