Meet Desiree Savage, the seasoned journalist taking charge at The Senior

I'm Desiree Savage - a long-time journalist, broadcaster and editor - who will be stepping into the shoes of Cheryl Field as I take the reins of The Senior.

As editor of this esteemed publication, I want to be an advocate for older Australians and ensure we cover issues that matter to you as well as stories that are inspiring, entertaining, and keep you informed.

I'm looking forward to bringing you more of our best news items, current affairs, recipes, history, book reviews, competitions, travel inspiration - and most of all, stories about people like you.

Our readers are a diverse bunch of people - from carers to those being cared for, those still working to those winding down to part-time or retiring, and then there are the adventurers excited to see the world and those who have had a life well lived.

I come to you with more than two decades of experience in the media, including eight years with the Illawarra Mercury (based in the Illawarra, NSW).

Before that, I travelled all over the countryside (like an honorary Leyland brother) and lived in regional and capital cities in four different states.

So whatever it is that you want to see, and whatever that happens to be, feel free to drop me a line.
