Murray Silby

Murray currently works as a senior journalist for the Shepparton News within the McPherson Media Group. For Murray, it's been a homecoming as he started his career as a cadet with the group at the Southern Riverina News many years ago, last century in fact. He has also worked for the Seymour Telegraph and Pastoral Times within the group’s stable. Since that beginning, Murray counts himself lucky enough to have travelled and worked internationally, and through a number of Australian states and territories, across newspapers, magazines, radio and television news. COVID-19 has emphasized the importance of local news for those living in the regions, and Murray finds it a privilege to be back working at the grassroots level of journalism.
