Bronwen Clune

Bronwen’s first story as a journalist was covering a meeting on how to attract ladies to the town of Narrogin, WA, to marry the local farmers. She got lots of winks that day and it’s been downhill since then. Her next story was covering a sheep auction.

Luckily she was seconded back to Perth where she worked at The West Australian before freelancing and naively embarking on an ambitious effort to save journalism. Yes, she has delusions of grandeur.

She has just been elected to be on the board for the Foundation for Public Interest Journalism where she hopes to at least make somewhat of a contribution to achieving that goal.

She’s enjoying having the time to write again in between running her own company, Norg Media, and speaking on the future of media at various events. When she’s not doing that she’s likely to be dancing like nobody’s watching.

She blogs at bronwenclune.com and you can follow her on Twitter here.
