Annie Markey
Annie Markey is the national online chief of staff at News Digital Media, and can be outraged by a range of subjects including Kevin Rudd’s speech patterns, people who disagree with her, and Croc shoes. She finds the term “journey” deeply upsetting.
In previous lives, she’s worked on country papers, negotiated the political nuances of SBS and was the deputy editor of mX. She spent several years on the dark side as a spin doctor in the entertainment industry, and is secretly proud of the fact she met George Lucas before ever seeing a Star Wars film.

She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
