An icon of NZ television, Jude Dobson has endeared herself to generations of Kiwis. From Sale of the Century to 5.30 with Jude and the face of Family Health Diary, we’ve grown up with her in our living rooms. What you might not know is that over the last 10 years, aside from raising her own family, she’s become a multi-talented producer, with her own production company Homegrown Television. More recently Jude has collaborated with Plunket and Well Child Tamariki Ora services, producing and fronting a TV series called Raising Children. Which is available for free on DVD/App/Website and provides invaluable advice for parents of newborns as well as insights into that crucial first decade of a child’s life. Today Jude continues to connect with New Zealanders bringing us stories that inspire, inform and entertain.
