In 2014, Libby created The Upside News to publish press releases she had written, and to experience being an online editor and contributor. The website has since grown, and has a strong arts, music and community focus with a team of 27 writers contributing.
The Upside News publishes upbeat stories about South Australians, which are sourced through digital media, press releases and word of mouth. Some of the music articles on The Upside News used to appear in print in BSide Magazine until that publication went 100% digital.
Libby’s digital publishing experiences can be accessed as follows:
The Upside News: Editor, Digital Content Producer, manager/founder, Features Writer; my work can be accessed here.

Glam Adelaide: Music journalist and features writer, where I have had the privilege of interviewing the likes of Redfoo, Kerri-Anne Kennerley, Lorna Jane, Tori Amos, Hilltop Hoods and many other musicians and artists in addition to membership articles.
Currently, Libby hosts Uncanny Valley, a prime time breakfast radio show every Monday on Three D Radio (93.7). Previously, she was SA Music Director and had a regular nightly show on Kixx Radio (kixxradio.com) called Kixxstart. She also co-hosted The BSide Hour every Friday night with Matthew Trainor until the station opted to go national and moved away from local content. Libby provided voicers, sweepers and promotional grabs for sponsors of, and shows on, the station.
During 2012-2014, Libby undertook training in news presenting and went on to become a volunteer newsreader and breakfast radio producer at Radio Adelaide and Fresh 92.7fm. Before that, she was an intern producer for ABC 891 Afternoons with Sonya Feldhoff and Drive with Michael Smyth.
