What people say about ME

Colin Vickery has enormous respect in the world of news and entertainment. He is a wonderful story teller and a great observer of the business. His reporting is accurate and constructive. I think he would have made a great television programmer because he understands the market so well. He is passionate about his work and is trusted by his wide readership.
— Jennifer Keyte, news presenter
Colin is a true professional. He never misses a deadline with his accurate, engaging and insightful copy. His analysis is spot on, his contacts are second to none, and his contribution would be an asset to any organisation.
— Claire Sutherland, former Herald Sun features editor and former mX editor
I have known Colin Vickery since my time at 60 Minutes in the 1990s. Over the course of the past 25 years I have seen him become one of the foremost television journalists in Australia, scrupulously fair and honest in his reporting, while always having great respect for the people whose hard work delivers the programs to the audiences screens. It is a difficult balancing act - to serve the readers at all times while also maintaining strong relationships with the producers and executives at the networks - and Colin has always managed to do just that, whilst navigating an industry that has been undergoing the most significant upheaval it has faced in half a century.
— Julian Cress Co-Creator and Executive Producer “The Block” Nine Network Australia.
Colin Vickery is a brilliant commentator respected throughout the entertainment industry with the ability, experience and contacts to get behind the headlines and give his audience an understanding of what’s really happening in show business.
— David Pougher, Herald Sun opinion editor
