Chris Mitchell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chris Mitchell is an Australian journalist and is editor-in-chief of Queensland Newspapers. He began his career on the former afternoon tabloid, The Telegraph, in 1973 and after working on The Townsville Bulletin, the Daily Telegraph (Australia) and the Australian Financial Review, became editor of The Australian in 1992. The Australian is owned by News Corporation.

In 1996, the newspaper he edited at the time, The Courier-Mail, claimed that the prominent Australian historian, Manning Clark, had been awarded the Order of Lenin. This claim was later shown to be false. [1]

Mr Mitchell has been linked romantically with the journalist Christine Jackman.
