Steve Jackson’s new role at Daily Mail after Channel 7 scandal

Four months after being dumped before he even started as the Police Commissioner’s chief spin doctor, journalist Steve Jackson has popped up in a new role.

Controversial journalist Steve Jackson, who had been laying low after being ditched by NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb as her chief spin doctor, has popped up in a surprising new place: Daily Mail Australia.

Jackson has had a tumultuous year after a public falling out with journalist Taylor Auerbach and being let go from his plum gig as Webb’s media boss after revelations his appointment came at the recommendation of Police Minister Yasmin Catley’s chief of staff.

So it’s no surprise Jackson, or Jacko as he is known among peers, kept this latest development on the down low.

In his short time at the Mail, Jackson has written across showbiz, crime and even the Olympics.
