Matt Jones - Senior News Reporter

I've been a journalist since 2010 after graduating with a Sports Media degree from the University of Canberra. I worked at several Fairfax newspapers including the Sydney Morning Herald and a brief spell as a communications executive at Racing NSW, followed by five years as a horse racing reporter at the Daily Telegraph. I'm now in a general news role at Daily Mail Australia and looking forward to writing on varying topics.
