From classroom to camera: The 17-year-old newsmaker

Leonardo Puglisi is not a typical teenager: In the morning, the 17-year-old visits school, in the afternoon he hosts his own news channel, which he founded in elementary school. Today, the young Australian is one of the up-and-coming talents in journalism and has already interviewed three prime ministers. SBS correspondent Barbara Barkhausen presents this extraordinary young man.
