George Mitchell’s primary interest was ‘delivering news to the community’ and getting ship captains’ reports to The Age newsroom copy boys in the 1860s.
Mitchell helped deliver the first copies of The Age to Melbourne households after collecting news from ship captains or ‘runners’ after arriving in Port Phillip Bay. A mad dash from Station Pier to Collins Street.
George was The Age‘s longest-serving employee with 65 years of loyal service to David Syme & Co. He’s this reporters great-great grandfather.
