Jim Middleton is an Australian journalist currently serving as a correspondent for Sky News Australia.[1]

Middleton graduated from the University of Western Australia[2] before joining the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 1970.[1] Middleton was involved in the transformation of radio station 2JJ into the national triplej brand, networked nationally around Australia.[3] He served as the ABC's North America correspondent[4] until 1988, when he became the ABC's chief political correspondent in Canberra.[5] In 2008, Middleton left his political role in Canberra to join the Australia Network, presenting Newsline and The World.[4][5]

Middleton took a voluntary redundancy from the ABC following the closure of the Australia Network due to funding cuts[5] signing off on 2 September 2014.[4]

Middleton joined Sky News Australia a month later, beginning on 22 September 2014, as a reporter and foreign correspondent.[6] In July 2016, he became presenter of new program Weekend Agenda.[7]
