In a recent episode of Modern Gays titled “Gaybourhood News with Ben Grubb,” we sat down with Ben Grubb, an Australian journalist and the founder of Gay Sydney News. Ben’s unique insights and experiences in reporting LGBTQIA+ stories reveal the increasing importance of queer representation in media.
Ben Grubb, a full-time editor at The Sydney Morning Herald, has covered the gamut of queer culture and news, from interviewing renowned recording artist Troy Sivan to reporting on international drag icons during Sydney World Pride. Yet, it’s his innovative venture, Gay Sydney News, that has captured the attention of a younger demographic, specifically Gen Z and millennials.
