New managing editor for Catholic Weekly
The new managing editor of The Catholic Weekly, Kerry Myers (pictured), has been a journalist for more than 30 years.
He began his career on The Sun after leaving Christian Brothers High School, Lewisham.
His early career included a stint as a young foreign correspondent for The Sun and The Sydney Morning Herald in the Fairfax New York bureau.
He returned to The Sun where he worked as a reporter, feature writer (including a three-month assignment in Antarctica) and sub-editor. He filled the roles of chief of staff and chief sub-editor and was an assistant editor of The Sun when the paper closed in 1988.
Kerry then worked at Channel 7 as a current affairs producer and was editor-in-chief of Fairfax Community Newspapers for five years before returning to Fairfax HQ at Darling Park in 1995 as a senior sub-editor.
He opted for a country lifestyle as editor of the Central Western Daily in Orange in 2000. Nearly four years later Kerry says he is pleased to be returning to Sydney to assume the role of managing editor of The Catholic Weekly.
He is married to Jenny and has two children, Siobhan, 14, and Roisin 12. His interests include reading and music and watching his girls compete at Irish dancing competitions.
