Natasha Frost

I write The New York Times’s weekday newsletter, The Europe Morning Briefing, and I report on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific from Melbourne, Australia. I also co-write the Australia Letter, a weekly newsletter about the region.

What I Cover

My reporting includes breaking news and other topics across the region. I am particularly interested in stories that give readers outside of Australia and New Zealand greater insight into these countries, their histories and their cultures.

My Background

Before joining The Times in 2020, I worked at Quartz, Atlas Obscura, Radio New Zealand and the BBC. I had an international upbringing in New Zealand and Singapore, and I am a citizen of Austria and the United Kingdom. I graduated from the University of Oxford and Columbia Journalism School. I speak French.

Journalistic Ethics

I strive for accuracy, fairness and neutrality in my reporting. All Times journalists are committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I do not participate in politics and I am always careful to identify myself as a reporter for The Times in news-related conversations.
