On Monday ABC legend and journalist Mark Colvin will be remembered with a scholarship in his name to be announced at a function hosted by the governor general Sir Peter Cosgrove at Admiralty House in Sydney.
One of Colvin’s two sons, Nic McKenzie, will talk about his dad and why he loved journalism and ABC chief, Michelle Guthrie, will announce the recipient of the scholarship who will receive a 12-month cadetship at the ABC, including a chance to be mentored by leading journalists.
