Paul Marshall's reputable journalism career began in Adelaide, when his grandmother heard an advertisement for a radio station recruiting cadet reporters.
With a knack of exposing the more obscure angles of a story, Paul has covered some of the biggest events in recent history.
He was in London reporting on the wedding of Prince Charles to Princess Diana in 1981. He was in Newport, Rhode Island in 1983 when Australia won the America's Cup and New York in 2001, witnessing first hand the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the USA.
Paul's television career began at the Seven Network in Adelaide in the early 1970's. He was soon posted to London and became Seven's first UK correspondent.
By the 1980s, Paul was back in Australia and took up Seven News Director positions in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney, before moving to the US, as Seven's North American correspondent.
Throughout his time in the US, Paul covered a variety of stories including two Presidential elections, Richard Nixon's funeral, several hurricanes and too many air disasters.
He reported from Washington during the first Gulf War and was in Los Angeles for the Riots, the Earthquake and the devastating LA bushfires, when his own house was threatened by the flames.
He received a Californian Television News Award for his story on the LA Bushfires and has shared in a number of awards for the Seven Network, including a Logie for Melbourne's Hoddle St Massacre in 1987 and a Walkley for the Sydney Bushfires in 2001.
He was also nominated for a Logie for coverage of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Away from work, you can find Paul and his wife Tracy, kicking the soccer ball around the park with their son, Oliver.
