WAR reporter Kate Adie will be in her native North-East tomorrow to talk about her experiences as a foreign correspondent.
The Royal Geographic Society talk, at Darlington's Arts Centre, follows Ms Adie's resignation from the BBC earlier this year.
The Sunderland-born broadcaster, who became a familiar figure reporting from the world's troublespots stepped down after 35 years with the organisation, including 24 as chief news correspondent.
Her lecture is expected to touch on many events in her career which involved her broadcasting from areas including Rwanda, Libya, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and the Middle East.
She has won many awards including prizes for her reports of the Tiananmen Square uprising, in China, and the US bombing of Tripoli.
Ms Adie, 57, cut her broadcasting teeth with fledgling Radio Durham after graduating from Newcastle University.
