Sky News Australia has boosted its content offering with new team members and global contributors.
As part of the investment, international news hosts Megyn Kelly, Nigel Farage, and Douglas Murray have joined Sky News Australia as contributors both on-air and online across SkyNews.com.au.
Piers Morgan’s UK column, Piers Morgan Uncensored, is also being published on SkyNews.com.au.
The writers join Australian voices including Joe Hildebrand, Des Houghton, Gemma Tognini, and Caroline Di Russo who have joined the network’s roster of columnists for SkyNews.com.au.
“Sky News Digital has enjoyed more than five years of successive growth, which is an impressive outcome against the backdrop of competitor outlets reducing costs,” says Sky News head of digital Tim Love.
“With more people in Australia and around the world accessing Sky News Australia content than ever before, we are looking forward to entering the next stage of the network’s digital expansion by introducing new senior journalists and commentators across both our digital video and written journalism businesses.”
Joining the Sky News Australia team is Charlie Coe who steps into the newly created role of commissioning editor. Coe now manages a network of expert commentators and news-breakers to support the channel’s in-house team and provide analysis of major stories.
Zoe Zaczek has been promoted to deputy editor and manages the team of reporters who write exclusive SkyNews.com.au stories.
Miriah Davis joins as digital reporter and Joe Huitson has been promoted to digital reporter where he will write original articles for SkyNews.com.au.
