I am an award-winning journalist with an unquenchable passion for technology who has written across a wide range of subjects during 30 years of media reporting in print, online and broadcast media.
Mainstream media roles include Consumer Affairs Reporter, Legal Affairs Reporter, City Hall Reporter, Assistant Chief of Staff, Deputy News Editor online, Media Development Editor and for 10 years as Senior Technology Journalist at The Australian newspaper. Recent specialities include artificial intelligence, telecommunications, digital copyright and consumer product reviews, including reviewing all forms of modern electric transport. If it moves, I’m on it, or in it – and spruiking it.
I’m available for special projects such as freelance news and feature writing, newspaper, TV and radio commentary, technical report writing, media training and strategies, MCing and conducting classes around using specific consumer technology. Feel free to contact me at crgriffo@gmail.com.
