Mike Kerr is a Tasmanian writer and journalist, and occasional comedian and cartoonist. He has lived in the US and Australia, worked in both public and private media sectors, and now writes for multiple platforms including radio. In truth, though, he favours the stuff that’s on paper. He says, “I come from a school of thought that says newspapers, magazines and books are important. Reading is important, and people who read are important. There’s a covenant, a trust, between those who write and those who read. Of all interactions in media, I value that relationship above all others.”
