Richard Cooke appointed The Monthly's inaugural US correspondent

Writer, broadcaster and contributing editor to The Monthly Richard Cooke will become the magazine’s inaugural US correspondent. He will produce a substantial weekly dispatch under the title “Tired of Winning”, running from May until the crucial midterm elections in November. His first column was published this week.

Each week, Cooke will address an event or topical subject in the US, combining reportage, observation and analysis for an international audience.

The Monthly is promising Tired of Winning will present America like no American could: with unique insight and wit, and in an unmistakably Australian voice.

The dispatches will be published online.
