Alex Choros is the Managing Editor of WhistleOut Australia and an award-winning journalist. He's been writing about consumer technology for over a decade and is an expert on the Australian telco sector, to the point where he knows far too many phone and internet plans by heart. In addition to leading the WhistleOut editorial team, Alex is responsible for ruining the office Sonos with his troubled taste in music.
Throughout his career as a journalist, Alex has covered international trade shows, spent three years co-hosting a tech show on community radio, and was awarded Highly Commended in the Best Reviewer category of the 2018 IT Journalism Awards and the 2021 IT Journalism Awards. His work contributed to WhistleOut Australia winning the Best Consumer Technology Coverage award in the 2023 IT Journalism Awards. Alex won the Consensus Award for Best Investigative Writer in 2024, and the Consensus Award for Best Editor in 2025.
He regularly contributed to Gizmodo and Lifehacker, and he often pops up on 2GB and 3AW to talk telco. On weekends, you'll find Alex at a wine bar, on a hike, or in the middle of a mosh pit.
