Mail Online poaches two more Sunday Telegraph journalists

Crawford

The Mail Online has continued its raid on News Corp’s journalists poaching two Sunday Telegraph staff including news editor Barclay Crawford.

He will be joined at the new online publication by Taylor Auerbach, who has covered several high profile celebrity stories for the paper, including a story about boxer Mike Tyson admitting he viewed himself  as a coward which got global attention.

The move comes as the publication is set to ramp up its Australian offering under former News.com.au editor Luke McIlveen, with sources saying it will launch a full Australian homepage within the next few months. Currently the right hand rail, or sidebar of shame, is geo-targeted for Australia.
