Queensland University of Technology graduate Adriana Mageros is the newest journalist to join the talented Fraser Coast Chronicle news team.
Adriana grew up in Brisbane and graduated QUT in 2016, with a Bachelor of Journalism with distinction.
She moved to Bundaberg in February 2022 to pursue her career in journalism and now lives in Hervey Bay, covering regional news for the Fraser Coast.
Since arriving she’s quickly become a familiar face at community events like Relish Food and Wine Festival and has taken a keen interest in council, covering everything from the recent budget and e-scooter trial to decisions which impact our pets and hip pockets and controversy over the Maryborough and Hervey Bay library and administration buildings.
Check out some of the great news articles and videos Adriana has already produced this week:
- Play the limited edition Monopoly Hervey Bay
- Mayor responds to cancellation of Hervey Bay’s Junior State Cup
- New details revealed in crash that left woman fighting for life
Adriana joins dedicated senior reporter Carlie Walker, Wide Bay News Director Jessica Grewal and award-winning Wide Bay editor Shelley Strachan (both Shelley and Jessica also oversee the Bundaberg NewsMail and Gympie Times) in providing the best local news coverage across the Fraser Coast, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
She has developed a keen interest in community news, politics and court reporting since beginning her career with the Bundaberg NewsMail. She also loves presenting and public speaking.
She comes from a musical background, and has played the violin and piano since she was eight years old.
She loves a glass of rose and in her spare time enjoys training at the gym and trying new dining experiences.
