Veteran political reporter Michelle Grattan has started her new role with The Conversation taking up a “cubbyhole” in the offices of Keating Media in the Press Gallery.

This morning, Grattan told Mumbrella she was enjoying the move.“I feel very good”, said Grattan, “it’s always an adjustment settling into a new job but of course I’ve worked with Andrew (Jaspan) before and I’m looking forward to getting into my stride.”

Last week Grattan announced her departure as political editor of The Age, instead taking up a role with the University of Canberra and would also write for The Conversation. The publication edited by former editor of The Age Andrew Jaspan.
