More Facebook articles in The Australian
I have been writing a bit about Facebook for The Australian recently.
I have an article in the Monday media section of The Australian about Facebook’s rocky relationship with the Australian Federal Police, based on an exclusive interview with Facebook’s chief security officer Joe Sullivan.
This follows my story in the news pages last week, which gave an Australian angle to the widely reported privacy update. I was at the press conference with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and put to him the comments by Australian communication minister Stephen Conroy that the site had shown “complete disregard for users’ privacy”.
Back in March I wrote about Facebook’s response to defacement of tribute pages for murdered Australian schoolchildren. I mentioned this previously but it seems worth sharing the link again in this context.

Travel articles in the LA Times and Galavanting
Two of my travel pieces were published on the same day. The first was my debut in the Los Angeles Times – an article about San Francisco’s historic F-line trams, which come from all over the world, including Melbourne.

The second was more of a personal essay, on living with an Iraqi family in Syria and my experience as a woman in this part of the world. It was based on the same trip as this piece I did for The Guardian in 2008.
