Hilary's "depressing" last days

Before Hilary Barry made the move to Newshub, things weren't going well for her at Newshub, she reveals. 

Towards the end of her time at Newshub, Hilary turned into a "negative nancy" and turned to Jeremy Corbett for advice.

"I just knew I needed to go because I was turning into a negative Nancy. I wasn't happy, the place was falling apart and I just thought, 'this isn't me'," she said.

Barry spoke about how there are "very few people you can talk to" when working a high-profile job.

"At that time my two closest confidantes were my husband and Jeremy Corbett, who I worked with for many, many years, who is a close friend, but someone who knows the business.

"In the workplace I like to have fun, have a giggle but I wasn't that person anymore and that was depressing."

Hilary left Newshub after a number of high-profile sackings by former CEO Mark Weldon.
