Conal Hanna

Conal Hanna

Managing Editor, Brisbanetimes.com.au

Conal Hanna worked in newspapers and magazines before joining the brisbanetimes.com.au team prior to the site’s launch in March 2007. He has been Managing Editor since August 2009.

Having worked for various newspapers and magazines, both in Queensland and overseas, he found the freedom and immediacy of online held instant attraction.

The internet is perhaps the ultimate story-telling medium, and Conal's goal as editor is to disprove the spurious notion that there's no "quality" journalism produced online.

When he's not at work he enjoys getting to the beach, exploring Brisbane's growing foodie scene and the occasional overseas adventure.
