Junkee Media is excited to announce it has appointed Alice Griffin as its new editor-in-chief of Junkee, starting November.
According to Mumbrella, the move follows the exit of the publication’s editor, Jules LeFevre, who worked at Junkee for more than six years.
Griffin joined from TRAVLR, where she worked as the travel company’s first content and editorial director. Prior to that, she was editor of MTV Australia, as well as a writer and presenter who boasts over a decade of experience in journalism and content strategy.
She is now set to drive Junkee’s mission, voice and strategy across all platforms, saying: “Junkee has always been dedicated to helping young Australians unpack the culture and goings-on of the world around them: a witty, original home on the internet that wades through the noise and hones in on what matters.
“It’s been a place of discussion and debate, a place that spotlights underrepresented voices, and a place to get lost in a good story. 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.”
RACAT Group (the publisher of Junkee) owner, David Haslingden, added: “Junkee has always been a trusted source of news and entertainment for young Australians. We are delighted to see Alice lead the team and continue to build on our loyal, diverse, and engaged youth audience of over 1.3million unique users each month.
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.”
