Greatly exaggerated deathĮarlier in the month, Daily Mail Australia and reported on the death of reality show contestant Dannii Erskine.Įrskine was a participant on Seven’s Bride and Prejudice in 2019. When Fred Hilmer was chief executive of Fairfax – owner of the Age and the Sydney Morning Herald before Nine took over – he dared to call journalists “content providers” and he was pilloried by the industry for the phrase. The word “content” has come a long way in 20 years, and Oliver-Taylor is now the “chief content officer”. Heading up the mega “content” division is a newly appointed television executive, Chris Oliver-Taylor, the former director of production for Netflix in Australia and New Zealand. Just six years later the four pillars have become two, along with another tranche of redundancies. “The result will be extended reach and relevance, a better experience for our audience and an ABC that, in a fragmented landscape, provides the critical space for debate, dialogue and ideas,” she said. Guthrie created four pillars: news, investigations and analysis local and regional original content and culture and entertainment. RN Breakfast with Patricia Karvelas, Drive with Andy Park and Background Briefing will move to news and all the others will move to content: Capital City Radio, Radio National, ABC Classic, Triple J, Double J, Triple J unearthed, ABC Country and ABC Jazz. The ABC has organised the corporation into two pillars, one called news and one called content, effectively removing the divisions of television and radio and scattering radio – now called audio – staff across both pillars, depending on whether they do news radio or current affairs radio. Hopefully there are not too many women among them. “As a consequence of the reorganisation and inevitable role changes, we are losing some talented and dedicated managers, and we sincerely thank them for their huge contribution,” Stevens said. There are a number of execs who have been restructured out. Sign up for Guardian Australia’s free morning and afternoon email newsletters for your daily news roundupīut it wasn’t all good news. The ABC news director, Justin Stevens, who has expanded his empire to include regional bureaux and parts of radio, proudly told staff the reorganisation means there will be more women than men on the news executive team for the first time: Gavin Fang (deputy) Donna Field (news operations) Lee Glendinning (digital news) Suzanne Dredge (Indigenous) Jo Puccini (investigative journalism) Stuart Watt (news distribution).
