Introducing our readers’ editor, your new pen pal at Crikey

You might have noticed Crikey advertising a new role a couple of months ago. After a few weeks getting settled in with the team, it’s finally time to introduce myself: Hi, I’m Crystal, your new readers’ editor. Here’s what you can expect from me. 

The readers’ editor is a unique role and, transparently, an experimental one. It’s no secret the news industry is facing challenges on all fronts: battles against AI, the tug-of-war between tech giants and the government, declining public trust. At a time when many media companies are contracting, Crikey is doubling down on investment in what has been our point-of-difference from day one: our readers.
