CyberShack snags Ray Shaw

Respected senior IT Journalist Ray Shaw has joined Cybershack as its Reviews editor. He brings over 40 years of consumer and business IT knowledge to the Cybershack/CBN Media team.

Ray Shaw built his first computer in 1980. It was an attempt to leverage emerging computing technologies for his Queensland-based group of companies. What followed was a dozen group companies leveraging computing and custom-written software, offering services well ahead of their competitors. Today you would call these start-ups!

He also founded Techmart – one of Queensland’s largest computer superstores. It became the go-to place for great advice, the highest ethics and quality PCs.

From 1994 to 2004, he co-hosted an ABC radio program to help explain the emerging technology. He published a companion weekly newsletter and managed an online helpline.

In 2012 he joined iTWire as a freelance journalist focusing on Enterprise computing. He later became consumer news and reviews editor. He also wrote ‘Up the Channel’ for dealer/distributor-focused Computer Reseller News.

In late 2017 he joined GadgetGuy as Managing Editor. There he perfected the ‘deep-dive’ review that is unique to Australia. It has critical information that does not appear in other reviews. It helps consumers decide if the product is right for them.

Ray Shaw takes Cybershack to the next step

From 15 November 2021, he joins Charlie Brown and CBN Media which produces Cybershack TV (Channel 9 Australia-wide), Lifestyle and Technology Radio (2GB and Australia-wide), its digital assets Cybeshack.com.au, a newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more.
