Geelong

Edited the Geelong Advertiser and its team of 60 full-time journalists for 13 years and through turbulent years of change - from broadsheet to tabloid, from print to digital. This was a demanding, but highly-rewarding role. The Geelong Advertiser is Australia's second-oldest newspaper behind the Sydney Morning Herald, so steering it from broadsheet to tabloid, then to become the leading example of integrated digital journalism was a truly memorable experience. Along the way, the newspaper evolved to become an iconic example of quality journalism, winning many national Newspaper of the Year awards and national recognition for its campaigning journalism. These include two National Alcohol and Drug Media Awards for its campaigning against alcohol fuelled violence and similar National Mental Health Media Awards for its reporting of suicide. The Geelong Advertiser is acknowledged as the Australian news organisation which, acting on behalf of forgotten families, broke the silence and the stigma of reporting suicide.
