About the Crikey Team

The Crikey Team blog is maintained by the editorial staff of Crikey. This blog will offer up a slice of life behind the newsdesk, and let us share some of the links and issues we come across during the day.

The Crikey team is:

  • Sophie Black, Deputy Editor
  • Eleri Harris. Journalist, lamp, world expert on kidnapping in West Papua, Hillary Rodham-Clinton impersonator, eco-nazi, glo-mesh handbag fanatic and politics nerd.
  • Andrew Crook, Journalist
  • Leigh Josey, Production Coordinator. Leigh is a proud Sandgroper who believes Australia should be divided along some sort of Mason-Dixon line. He loves the Fremantle football club, the Elwood cricket club and one day hopes to achieve his humble goal of owning a monkey.
  • Bernard Keane, Canberra Correspondent
  • Jane Nethercote, Website Editor.
  • Ruth Brown, Journalist and Web Monkey. Ruth enjoys mix tapes, free samples, Chairman Kaga, the arched window, children’s television, beer gardens and dry vermouth.
