Cameron Price (born 24 September 1985) is an Australian media professional who co-founded and currently serves as the CEO of LeadStory.
Throughout his career, he has worked as a reporter for prominent Australian broadcasters, including roles in Sydney for Sky News Australia, Brisbane for Nine News, and Sydney again for Seven News. Additionally, he has made occasional appearances on the program Sunrise.
Career
Price holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Queensland. He began his journalism journey reporting for WIN Television in Toowoomba and later for Nine News based in Brisbane. In 2011, he received a nomination for the prestigious Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year.
His time with Nine News Queensland ended amid controversy when he, along with two colleagues, was dismissed due to the "choppergate" incident. This involved a fabricated live helicopter cross, where the broadcast inaccurately suggested the helicopter was near Beerwah, while it was actually stationed at a network helipad in Mt Coot-Tha, approximately 90 kilometres away. Following his termination, Price pursued legal action against Nine, which was resolved through an out-of-court settlement. Notably, his dismissal occurred just before he was set to relocate to Sydney for a new position within Nine.
Later that same year, Price joined Sky News initially as a producer before transitioning to an on-camera reporter role based in Sydney. He departed from Sky News in April 2016 and subsequently joined Seven News as a reporter in May 2016, contributing occasionally to Sunrise. In June 2021, Price left Seven and went on to co-found LeadStory, which officially launched in September 2021.
