Lachlan Cartwright has reported from Australia, London and across the United States over a 20 year career in journalism. He has written for the New York Post, the New York Daily News, The Daily Beast, Vanity Fair, The Ankler and The Hollywood Reporter. He was appointed the first online news editor of The Sun at 25 and went on to create and helm the media newsletter Confider.

He has broken agenda setting stories about the Murdochs, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein and child sex abuse at the highest levels of the Catholic Church. He also covered Michael Jackson’s death, the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the NYC bike path terror attack. In 2016 he broke a series of stories that were under restrictive “super injunctions” in the UK, which led London law firms to advise clients against the practice. He has also appeared on television and radio across the world.

He wrote the cover story for the New York Times magazine about the role he played in Donald Trump’s “catch and kill” hush money scandal while he was Executive Editor of the National Enquirer and Radar Online. (In the course of that work he was threatened with two multimillion dollar lawsuits). His proudest moment is appearing in a towel in People magazine after a photo editor at the New York Post accidentally released unpublished pictures of him and a colleague inside the Standard hotel while covering a story about guests having sex in the windows. He also once had to eat cheese made from breast milk.
