Guardian Australia appoints new political editor
Tom McIlroy
Guardian Australia has promoted its recently appointed chief political correspondent, Tom McIlroy, to political editor.
McIlroy joined The Guardian in April as its chief political correspondent, during a period of tumult for the masthead’s political team. The Guardian’s former political editor Karen Middleton resigned from the role in March, after a year in the job.
Middleton’s stint as The Guardian’s political editor coincided with a mass exodus of the Guardian’s Canberra bureau, with Amy Remeikis, Mike Bowers, Paul Karp, and Dan Hurst all leaving the publication.
