Career
Price obtained a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Queensland and early in his career worked as a reporter for WIN Television in Toowoomba as well as Nine News in Brisbane.[2]
His career at Nine News Brisbane came to a controversial end, when he was sacked along with two others for his involvement in the faking of a live news cross during a news bulletin. The event which became known as "choppergate" saw news presenter Eva Milic cross to Price who was in a helicopter reported to be "near Beerwah", however it later emerged the helicopter was on a Nine Network helipad in Mt Coot-Tha 90 kilometres away.[3][4] Price began legal action against Nine, however the two parties settled out of court.[5] Price had been due to move to Sydney to take up a position with the Nine Network in the week he was sacked.[6]
In 2011 Price was nominated for the Walkley Young Australian Journalist of the Year award.[7]
Price joined Sky News in 2011 as a producer, before accepting a role as on-air Sydney reporter.[8] Price left Sky News in April 2016[9] and the following month joined Seven News as a reporter.[10]
