Ita Buttrose

Ita Clare Buttrose (born 17 January 1942) is an Australian journalist, businesswoman, television personality and author. She was the founding editor of Cleo, a high-circulation magazine aimed at women aged 20 to 40 that was frank about sexuality (and, in its infancy, featured nude male centrefolds) and, later, as the editor of the more conventional Australian Women's Weekly. She was the youngest person to be appointed editor of the Weekly, which was then, per capita, the largest-selling magazine in the world. Buttrose was a panelist on the Network Ten morning program Studio 10 from 2013 until 2018. In 2019 Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced Buttrose as the new chairperson of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
