I am James Whitaker, a journalism graduate from the University of Melbourne, where I specialised in political reporting and media ethics. I began my professional career in 2013 as a junior reporter at The Age, covering local governance and public policy in Victoria. In 2017, I moved into national political coverage, reporting on federal elections, parliament, and policy reform. Over the years, my work has focused on clear, factual reporting and long-form political analysis grounded in verified sources.
