The NT News is famous across Australia for its liberal use of crocodile photos on the paper's front page, including this memorable shot of a "croc cruise."

The News Corp newspaper famous for its croc and UFO stories, NT News, has finally appointed a sole journalist to head up this very niche, very newsworthy category, and the coveted job has gone to Jill Poulsen.

The paper is renowned for having a cracking array of headlines and puns, including winners like ‘Why I stuck a cracker up my clacker’, ‘Horse in love with goat’ and ‘Best man left bleeding after being hit in head by flying dildo’.

And no, this is not a joke.

CONGRATULATIONS @jill_poulsen FOR BEING NAMED THE NT NEWS’ FIRST EVER CROC/UFO REPORTER. DON’T FARK IT UP. THE WORLD IS WATCHING.

— The NT News (@TheNTNews) July 4, 2016

Poulsen has got plenty of experience in the field, with Fairfax reporting she’s even witnessed a UFO in action.

“It wasn’t a plane, it was quite literally an unidentified flying object,” Poulsen said.

“Ever since then, I really believed that they were out there and that the truth is out there for us to find.”

Poulsen isn’t a stranger to breaking croc news either, penning lead stories like ‘”Indecent-a-saltie” about a man who put his testicles inside the jaws of a saltwater crocodile.

“I hope that one day I will get so in touch with my subjects that I will be able to swim with them,” Poulsen said.

Dreams do come true! ?? https://t.co/ZsfJsrtlTa

Twitter fans naturally have a case of job jealousy:

@TheNTNews @jill_poulsen I just got a BAD case of job envy!

— Dallas Baird (@TheDallasBaird) July 4, 2016

@TheNTNews @jill_poulsen I’m actually a little angry it took you guys this long to get someone on this beat

— Matt Hustwaite (@MattyHuss) July 4, 2016

what’s to fuck up? Most of the @TheNTNews stories are a croc anyway! ?

— Smokey Johansson (@smokeyjoh) July 4, 2016

@jill_poulsen Congrats on getting the best job in the world at the best newspaper in the world. #lovetheNTNews
