A day in the life of the Sydney Morning Herald’s editor
Lisa Davies, editor at The Sydney Morning Herald, gives Mumbrella readers a glimpse into life inside one of the country’s biggest newsrooms.

I have never been much of a morning person, but most days a combination of adrenalin and necessity get me up at this hour (or earlier). Today I planned to go for a run. I want to run The Sydney Morning Herald half-marathon in May, so I’m trying to get in shape.
But I was up late last night dealing with a late-breaking story, so I don’t feel much like it. So, in the spirit of transparency, I hit snooze. Repeatedly.

New format, same humble brags. Actually in this case not so humble. My favourites were, “Lunch. While I have many lunch engagements outside the office…” and “I head out to dinner with a senior politician”.
That’s not bragging, that’s just a day in the life of a newspaper editor. Networking with Sydney’s movers and shakers across all sectors is actually her job.
Has this changed to a sponsored format?
More product plugs than a day time TV infomercial.
Great to see that shortlist thing being used by someone
“SENSIBLE”, IS IT, Lisa, to make my home state a killer, with impunity, of the unborn, like the other states? (NOT all of them are, as you imply.)
Sensible to kill our unborn children is it?
The answer will come out in the wash.
Really not the place to be stating political standings. Also, have you ever read anything about abortion. How about some study before big controversial comments.
