Simon Bouda joins A Current Affair as crime editor
Nine News senior reporter Simon Bouda has been appointed crime editor for A Current Affair.
Bouda joined National Nine News in 1990, after 10 years writing about crime across major Sydney newspapers.
He has covered some of the nation’s biggest crime stories, including the murders of Anita Cobby and Ebony Simpson, as well as disasters such as the Boxing Day Tsunami and Christchurch Earthquake.
Bouda was also previously a senior reporter for A Current Affair for two years between 2005 and 2007.
Grant Williams, deputy director of news and current affairs, said in an internal email: “Simon is without doubt one of the country’s most respected and trusted journalists and has been a crime reporter since 1980.
“Simon will be responsible for leading A Current Affair’s national coverage of major crime and domestic and international terrorism and I am certain there is no journalist anywhere in the country better placed to take on this senior role.”
“He will be on board at A Current Affair from 2 October and I know you’ll join me in congratulating him on the appointment and supporting him in this new role.”
