Taylor Renouf
Taylor Renouf is an entertainment-focused online editor at PerthNow, with coverage that centres on celebrity news, influencers and the points where popular culture intersects with everyday life. Her work sits on the front line of fast digital publishing for PerthNow and The West Australian, turning breaking stories into clear, accessible reporting for a broad audience. She joined the masthead in 2021 and has built a portfolio that blends high-profile entertainment news with social media-driven narratives and unusual human-interest events.
Celebrity news, relationships and loss
Renouf’s core entertainment coverage follows public figures through relationship milestones, career turns and moments of grief. She reports on television personalities navigating major changes, including stories where a TV host shares “huge relationship news” after calling off a wedding, framing the update in direct, headline-driven terms. Her music coverage includes the death of Grammy-nominated producer Tay Keith, outlining his work with globally recognised artists and the circumstances of his death in a concise news format. She also returns to the legacy of established figures such as MasterChef’s Jock Zonfrillo, focusing on tributes from family members and the emotional texture of commemorations several years on from their deaths.
Across these pieces, she keeps the structure tight: a strong lead, a summary of what happened, and enough background on the figure to explain why the news matters to entertainment audiences.
Influencers, claims and online controversy
Beyond traditional celebrities, Renouf tracks influencers and internet personalities whose stories spark debate or curiosity. Her coverage of a woman claiming to be missing child Madeleine McCann focuses on the “wild new claims” themselves and their viral spread, keeping the tone factual while acknowledging the sensational nature of the assertions.
She writes on prominent adult-content creators such as blueeyedkaylajade, highlighting personal revelations like being a mother of two and how those disclosures reshape public perceptions of their online persona.
In workplace culture, she reports on a content creator discussing whether employees should be made to turn on cameras during virtual meetings, summarising the argument and noting how it divides online opinion. These stories show a consistent approach: she zeroes in on the specific claim or moment that triggered attention, explains who the personality is, and presents the reaction without commentary or embellishment.
Consumer brands, technology and lifestyle trends
Renouf regularly covers consumer-facing developments that matter to everyday routines, from retail expansions to new digital tools. When a major coffee chain’s next 24/7 store location is revealed, she reports the details of the site and operating hours, positioning the news as a practical update for readers tracking brand growth and late-night options.
Her technology writing includes the launch of IKEA Kreativ, an AI product that lets customers design rooms at the touch of a button, where she explains in simple terms what the tool does and how it changes the shopping experience. She also writes about unusual lifestyle stories such as the capture of the world’s longest goldfish in a local lake, emphasizing the record-breaking measurement and the scientific context provided by an aquatic biologist.
In these pieces, she grounds coverage in concrete information - locations, features, measurements - so that consumer and lifestyle stories read as straightforward briefings rather than promotional content.
Breaking news and unusual world events
Renouf’s remit extends into breaking news and global stories when they directly affect travel, safety or public interest.
She reports on flight groundings and chaos at Perth Airport as airlines suspend services to hubs such as Dubai and Doha amid conflict in the Middle East, clearly outlining which routes are affected and how passengers’ plans are disrupted. In crime and world news, she covers developments in Thailand suitcase murder cases, detailing fresh revelations while explicitly stating that no connection is alleged between a named suspect and other bodies, reflecting a careful approach to legal and ethical language. These pieces show her ability to move from entertainment into harder news, keeping the writing concise while handling evolving situations and sensitive allegations with caution.
Across beats, her coverage is defined by speed, clarity and a preference for direct, uncomplicated prose that matches the urgency of the stories she publishes.
