Jacob Greber to replace Laura Tingle as 7.30 political editor

The ABC has named veteran journalist Jacob Greber at the political editor of current affairs show 7.30, after Laura Tingle was elevated to the national broadcaster’s global affairs editor.

Greber is currently the ABC’s chief digital political correspondent. He started his 30-year journalistic career as a copyboy in the Canberra press gallery, and has worked across The Courier-Mail, Bloomberg, and the AFR, covering economics, politics, and world affairs.

“It’s an incredible time to join 7.30 with Sarah Ferguson and the team. Our audience rightly demands clarity and insight about the people who govern us and the challenges we face as a nation,” Greber said in a press release.
