Peter Michael St Clair Harvey (16 September 19442 March 2013) was an Australian journalist and broadcaster. Harvey was a long-serving correspondent and contributor with the Nine Network from 1975 to 2013. ==Career== Harvey studied his journalism cadetship with the Sydney newspaper ''The Daily Telegraph'' and won a Walkley Award in 1964. He worked at radio stations 2UE and 2GB before moving to London and working for BBC Radio. He then went on to ''The Guardian'' (where he received the British Reporter of the Year Award for a series of articles about the sale of confidential information) and the American ''Newsweek'' magazine as a reporter in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Harvey changed to television when he joined the Nine Network in 1973 and served as its news director in the network's Canberra bureau for many years. One of his first major stories was the dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in November 1975. It was from this work, and his regular political reporting on Nine's flagship nightly news bulletins, that his sonorous closing line of "Peter Harvey, Canberra" and deep baritone voice became something of a catchphrase and was lampooned by numerous comedians, including Australian television's ''Full Frontal'' and ''The Late Show''.〔 Harvey also reported for the network from numerous international trips by Australian prime ministers and was based in Saudi Arabia in 1990 with American forces at the commencement of the first Gulf War.〔 He transferred from Canberra to the network's Sydney headquarters in February 1997. In later years he contributed to ''Today'' and ''60 Minutes'', where he presented a weekly viewers' feedback segment.〔 Harvey was awarded a Centenary Medal in 2001, for service to Australian society in journalism.〔(HARVEY, Peter Michael (Centenary Medal) ), ''It's an Honour'', 1 January 2001.〕 He was inducted into the Logie Hall of Fame on 27 April 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Harvey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
