Please Welcome Junkee’s New Editor-in-Chief
With over ten years of experience in the journalism biz, Alice Griffin will help forge an exciting new editorial direction for the company.
We at Junkee are hugely excited to announce the imminent arrival of our new editor-in-chief, Alice Griffin.
Griffin, who was former editor for MTV Australia, joins the team in November, and will help drive our mission, voice, and strategy across all platforms.
“I’m thrilled to kick off this next exciting phase of Junkee alongside a team of incredibly talented journalists and producers who continue to make this media brand one of Australia’s best,” Griffin says.
“Junkee has always been dedicated to helping young Australians unpack the culture around them: a witty, original home on the internet that cuts through the noise and hones in on what matters. It’s been a place of discussion and debate, a place that spotlights under-represented voices, and a place to get lost in a good story.”
The decision was made with the full endorsement of the leader of Junkee’s parent company, Chief of RACAT Media David Haslingden, who welcomes Alice’s unique vision for the company.
“We are delighted to see Alice lead the team and continue to build on our loyal, diverse, and engaged youth audience of over 1.3 million unique users each month,” David says. “Alice’s international experience spanning content strategy and lifestyle journalism has set her up to excel at Junkee and we count ourselves as very fortunate to have her join our team.”
Griffin replaces our beloved former editor Jules LeFevre, whose career with Junkee spanned six wonderful years. While we miss her and her inimitable sense of humour every day, we’re more than confident that Alice will lead us with chutzpah into this exciting new era. Watch this space!
