Planning ahead for breaking and devastating news
Description
Alice Neville has been with The Spinoff since 2018, originally hired as the food editor and now the deputy editor. Within our small team, she oversees any news coverage we run, particularly around politics and social issues.
Alice joins Madeleine Chapman as this week was a big week of news on The Spinoff, with the release of the final report from the royal commission of inquiry into abuse in care. It was breaking news but also something we knew was coming, which is a very particular type of challenge for a small team without any dedicated news reporters. Plus, Alice makes a case for the crucial work that the invisible sub-editors do every day.
