Sharyn Ghidella is an Australian journalist and news presenter.

Career
Ghidella's career in television began in the region, as a reporter and presenter for North Queensland Television (now 10 QLD). She also produced and presented the regional weekly current affairs program, Newsweek. She moved to Brisbane to work with Network Ten's News division, before going to the Nine Network.[1]
Nine Network
She spent her first three years at the Nine Network reporting for National Nine News, writing and presenting hourly news breaks.[citation needed] In the mid-1990s she began hosting Nine's Daybreak program, which was later renamed National Nine Early News.[citation needed]
Returning to the early news meant she became a regular substitute host on Today filling in for anchor Tracy Grimshaw or news presenter Ian Ross. When Ross left the show in 2001, she became permanent news presenter, and continued as fill in host for the show.[2]
Seven Network
In 2007, she replaced Tracey Challenor on Seven News Brisbane as weekend presenter.[2] Her arrival at BTQ, as well as that of former Nine News Queensland weather presenter John Schluter, saw the bulletin overtake the market-leading Nine bulletin for the first time in two decades.[3][4][5] In 2008, she replaced Talitha Cummins on Weekend Sunrise as news presenter, and remained in the position until late 2010.[citation needed]
In January 2013, Ghidella began presenting Seven News Brisbane from Sunday to Thursday with Bill McDonald (and later Max Futcher) and was also appointed presenter of Today Tonight Queensland.[6] The show was axed in February 2014.[7]
Personal life
Ghidella was born in Babinda, in Far North Queensland.[2]
She had a partner, freelance cameraman Paul Croll, and they have two sons.[8]
