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.
