He supported the Age Writer's festival. His support of social issues made the Age a good contrast to the Australian. It is interesting that figures like him can have difficulty with staff because they are open and invite comment /criticism. It is only when they are lost in a management reshuffle that staff realize what they were doing to keep the ship afloat.. While a committed subscriber to the Age I would be willing to add to my Crikey subscription if someone started a genuine online paper with the political orientation of the Age online and based in Melbourne.

Anyone in a senior role who fights to protect editorial resources and integrity at Fairfax is shafted and offered new but unsuitable roles. I'm sure he will do well for himself elsewhere as he must have integrity to stand by his beliefs. I just wish my ailing Fairfax shares would rise to a decent level so i can sell them Your analysis of Jaspan’s departure is spot-on.

It would be fine if there were other outlets for the great journalistic talent that Fairfax seems ot be ditching, some with decades of irreplaceable experience, but there just isn't. The managment are just vandals-the sadest day was when those who took over the Fairfax stable were men with no newspaper experience but think publishing is juts like any other business when it is actually completely unique.
