Sophie Walsh

In June 2019, Walsh was appointed European correspondent for Nine News, replacing Michael Best who returned to Australia to become News Director on Nine News Perth.

During her time in Sydney, she presented other national bulletins, and on several occasions appeared on the Today and Weekend Today as a reporter and fill-in news presenter. She was also a fill-in presenter on Nine News Sydney. Walsh presented Nine News Sydney on Christmas Day, 2018.

In July 2016, after filling in for Alison Ariotti as the weekend co-presenter of Nine News Queensland in the first half of the year whilst she was on maternity leave, Walsh returned to the Sydney newsroom, retaining her roles as a reporter and fill-in weather presenter.

In September 2011 she moved to the Brisbane newsroom, which had just been rocked by the sacking of two reporters for their roles in a faked live helicopter cross during a nightly bulletin the previous month. One of the stories she covered was the deportation of four Italian girls from Brisbane to their father's home in Florence, Italy. She also received a Clarion Award nomination for her DMAA investigation into an amphetamine-type chemical used in sports supplements, which resulted in a blanket ban on all products by the Therapeutic Goods Administration on Australian shelves. In addition to her reporting duties, she became the weekend weather presenter in 2014, replacing Davina Smith, and occasionally filled in as weekend news presenter.

In October 2009 she joined the Nine Network in Sydney, where she became a reporter for Nine News, and a fill-in presenter on the network's national bulletins. She also presented newsbursts on Nine's sister channel, 9Go!, in 2010.
