About

Myriam Robin

My name is Myriam Robin, and I work for The Australian Financial Review. I aim to write stories that explain the world, especially the parts that are hidden or less than obvious. My work spans investigative features, profiles and analysis. I want to embrace complexity, to examine all assumptions, and tell a story in compelling enough a manner that you keep reading until the end.

Before my current role, I wrote for and later edited the Australian Financial Review’s Rear Window gossip column. Earlier I reported on markets, the media, and economics. I have degrees in journalism and economics. I think my career to date has given me some familiarity with most of Australia’s clusters of power, which is very useful in the work I do.

In 2025 a feature I wrote on Julie Bishop was short-listed for the feature writing Walkley award.

I was born in Cairo (my Arabic is, at best, conversational), and live in Melbourne with my husband and children. The photograph of me was taken by Eamon Gallagher.

Events

Wheeler Centre, Melbourne

I moderated a panel at the launch of Inflection Points, Australia's long-form policy magazine. Three changemakers — Michael Brennan, Brendan Coates, and Katie Roberts-Hull — shared case studies on policy reform, followed by a Q&A.
