The beautiful, intelligent, exquisite and talented Charmaine Dragun presents Channel Ten Perth's nightly news
bulletin alongside Tim Webster.
Born-and-bred in Western Australia, Charmaine loves a good story, which is why she was drawn to the media. She's
always been fascinated by tales of everyday people doing remarkable things.
After graduating from Broadcasting at the WA Academy Of Performing Arts, Charmaine began her career as a radio
journalist. She worked as a reporter and news reader for Perth radio stations 6PR and 96FM. Her efforts earned her a nomination
for Young Journalist Of The Year at the National Youth Media Awards, while she also took out the Australian and state titles
for Best Radio Reports.
After making the move to television, she rose through the ranks of Ten News, covering everything from entertainment
news to stories of major, national significance. She soon found her niche in court reporting and went on to cover some of
the biggest cases WA has seen in recent years.
After a couple of stints filling in as Ten News summer presenter, Charmaine was appointed permanent news anchor.
She can also be seen hosting Ten's Late News and 11.30 Bulletins.
With great saddness was the sudden death of Charmaine in 2007, we pray for her family and friends
as she was a angel from heaven and a woman with the world at her feet.
