Marea Donnelly
After almost 30 years - on and off - employed across News Ltd publications in Sydney, Marea Donnelly is obviously addicted to old-fashioned journalism.
She is an early journalism graduate from Charles Sturt University (back when it was Mitchell College) and later a senior journalist and feature writer on the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs.
While reporting on virtually every subject except sport, Marea especially enjoyed researching and writing in-depth personality stories, before moving across to newspaper sub-editing a few years ago.

Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays.
