Crime reporter’s journey from smoke-filled newsrooms to being ‘the guy from Tiktok’
Veteran crime reporter Mark Morri regaling SXSW audiences with stories from the Daily Tele newsroom of old
When Mark Morri joined the Daily Telegraph in 1980 as a copy boy, news reporting was an entirely different beast.
For 45 years the Daily Telegraph’s crime editor has worked out of the same Holt Street building in Sydney, for the same publisher — but everything else about the day-to-day mechanics of Morri’s job has completely changed.
Morri regaled audiences with nostalgic newsroom stories on Thursday afternoon at a SXSW Sydney session titled Typewriter to TikTok.
