Anthony Bunn
Anthony Bunn is a long-serving journalist at The Border Mail who works across entertainment and broader community coverage for the masthead. His association with The Border Mail extends over more than two decades, which underpins a wide brief that spans news, features and obituaries. His reporting is defined by close attention to individual lives within wider changes, whether those changes are in media, politics, industry or local heritage.
Human stories behind local change
Bunn’s general news coverage focuses on how projects and disruptions land for the people who live with them, not just on official announcements. In reporting on a railway pedestrian tunnel and the dismantling of an old signal box, he frames the piece around everyday impact and the reactions of those who use and remember the site. When he writes about a sawmill closure, the story is driven by workers and business owners speaking directly about the hit to jobs, identity and future prospects.
His obituary work, including coverage of a much‑respected centenarian’s funeral at a place of worship, records specific details of faith, ceremony and community recognition rather than stopping at formal notice.
Politics and public life
Bunn treats politics as part of community life, tying electoral contests and internal party decisions to the people they affect.
In coverage of a Labor upper house member considering a run for a lower house seat, he lays out the personal calculus and local consequences of that choice, from party strategy to what it means for constituents. External outlets seek his perspective when explaining key contests, citing him as a senior journalist whose long experience with candidates and voters gives weight to his assessments.
This mix of straight reporting and quoted analysis marks him as a point of reference on public affairs in the paper’s patch.
History and heritage
Bunn devotes significant attention to history and heritage, with recurring work around the Ned Kelly story and its modern resonances. His article on descendants buying an expensive photograph of the bushranger sets out family motivations, auction dynamics and the cultural value of the image, balancing human detail with the historical object. Coverage of commemorations linked to Kelly’s life and of fiction that revisits the siege and its setting shows an interest in how communities retell contested history over time.
The combination of archival detail, present‑day voices and clear narrative makes these pieces sit somewhere between news and accessible local history.
Entertainment and television careers
On the entertainment beat, Bunn’s work includes profile‑driven news about people whose careers sit behind the more visible faces of television. In the account of a manager whose television role ends abruptly, he lets the subject describe the shock and transition in direct speech, keeping the focus on one professional life rather than the industry in the abstract.
The way he treats that disruption as a human story mirrors his handling of closures, funerals and political shifts elsewhere, where the consequences for individuals and families are the organising lens.
Role within the masthead
Bunn’s profile and professional listings show that his responsibilities at The Border Mail include editorial and leadership work alongside regular reporting, giving him a broad view of the paper’s agenda. His byline and interviews surface in external sites that republish or discuss The Border Mail’s journalism, which indicates that his stories on politics, industry and history are often picked up beyond the original publication. The combination of long tenure, varied subject matter and recognisable human‑interest framing makes his coverage distinct from a narrow entertainment reporter, even when the stories sit on that part of the masthead.
