Tom Livingstone
Tom Livingstone turns breakfast television into fast, accessible digital stories that blend entertainment, lifestyle and everyday money issues for Nine’s online audience. His coverage sits where celebrity segments, workplace trends and cost‑of‑living pressures meet, shaped by the rhythm and tone of the Today Show.
Today Show coverage and entertainment-led stories
Livingstone is a reporter at Nine and manages the Today Show website, publishing daily highlights and recaps for a digital readership.
He writes around the program’s guest segments, distilling interviews and discussions into short pieces that foreground the strongest lines, clips and takeaways. His brief includes breaking news, entertainment, celebrity gossip and community‑based stories, giving him a broad canvas but a consistent link back to the show’s on‑air content.
The work puts him close to Australia’s breakfast television hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, with his articles often amplifying their exchanges and reactions. Outside formal bios, he describes himself as a homepage editor for the Today site and a digital producer for Nine’s news platforms, underlining his split focus on show coverage and broader news.
Cost‑of‑living, family finance and money confidence
Alongside entertainment angles, Livingstone regularly tackles household finance and cost‑of‑living stories framed through simple numbers and clear advice. His coverage of the annual cost of raising a child in Australia breaks down new research into per‑year figures and practical implications for parents, translating data into an everyday benchmark. In pieces on surging rents, he focuses on what tenants can do when their housing costs jump, pulling together expert guidance, rights information and realistic options rather than abstract market commentary.
His work around new data on how younger generations handle money highlights an interest in financial confidence, using survey results to explore whether habits are shifting and what that means for future consumers. Across these articles, he favours direct language and concrete examples, keeping financial topics approachable rather than technical.
Workplace culture, productivity trends and lifestyle shifts
Livingstone covers workplace trends that sit between employment news and lifestyle, often off the back of Today segments with specialists. His story on “bare minimum Mondays” explains why some people deliberately start the week slowly, linking the idea to burnout, anxiety and attempts to reset expectations at work. The piece summarises expert commentary from the program and translates it into everyday scenarios, showing how a social‑media trend might play out inside offices and remote teams. In coverage of the four‑day work week, he sets out arguments for and against shorter working weeks, looking at productivity, employee wellbeing and business pressures in a concise format. These articles share a focus on emerging buzzwords and workplace experiments, but they are written as straightforward explainers rather than opinion columns.
Breaking news and crisis reporting background
Before focusing on Today and entertainment‑adjacent stories, Livingstone builds his experience inside Nine’s newsrooms.
He starts at Nine Entertainment in 2018, reporting for the 9News website and the online arm of A Current Affair. In 2020 he takes on a liaison role with Nine’s NSW newsroom, helping cover the nightly 6pm bulletin and writing online pieces on major local and international stories for digital readers.
His background includes significant crisis reporting, with recognition through NRMA Kennedy Awards for online breaking coverage of the Black Summer bushfires and the NSW–Queensland flood emergency. This history informs how he approaches urgent consumer stories today, bringing the pace and clarity of hard‑news reporting to topics such as rent shocks, household budgets and sudden changes at work.
Taken together, Livingstone’s work shows a reporter who sits at the junction of television, entertainment and practical information, using the Today Show as a starting point for digital stories that help audiences keep up with celebrity culture, workplace trends and the real‑world pressures on household finances.
