Crikey is an Australian electronic magazine comprising a website and email newsletter available to subscribers. Well known in Australian political, media and business circles {{citation}}: Empty citation (help), Crikey was described by former Federal Opposition Leader Mark Latham as the "most popular website in Parliament House" in The Latham Diaries. Its current editor is Sophie Black, who succeeded Jonathan Green.
History
Crikey was founded by activist shareholder Stephen Mayne, a journalist and former staffer of then Liberal Victorian premier Jeff Kennett. It developed out of Mayne's "jeffed.com" website, which in turn developed out of his abortive independent candidate campaign for Kennett's seat of Burwood. Longstanding Crikey political commentators/reporters include former Liberal insider Christian Kerr (who originally wrote under the pseudonym 'Hillary Bray'), Guy Rundle, Charles Richardson, Bernard Keane, Mungo MacCallum and Hugo Kelly.
