Fairfax did not announce it quite as bluntly as that, instead describing its action within the context of a “business improvement plan”. It sent an email to all its employees, announcing “a major restructure of corporate and group services and significant initiatives to improve the overall productivity and performance of many of our businesses”. John Lyons, a former Fairfax editor, and Caroline Overington reported (Australian, 27 August 2008, pp.1-2): “Fairfax Media is abandoning quality journalism at its flagship newspapers, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age, according to staff who yesterday rejected a company plan to shed 550 jobs. Chief executive David Kirk and his deputy Brian McCarthy told the Australian Stock Exchange and newspaper staff via email yesterday that Fairfax hoped to save $50 million by cutting the jobs in Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand – 5 per cent of its full- time workforce.” The company‟s metropolitan newspapers recorded a 9 per cent drop in profit in 2007-08.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS: METROPOLITAN 32.2 CIRCULATION (1): AUDIT BUREAU TO REVIEW PRACTICES The gathering of more frequent and more accurate data on newspaper and magazine circulations may result from a review of the practices of the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC). The review has been ordered after claims that challenged the integrity of how the ABC audits figures. ABC chairman Stephen Hollings said the review would encompass the organisation‟s rules, definitions, and auditing procedures as well as the long-running issue of more frequent circulation data. He predicted the findings would be put to the ABC general committee for a vote within three months. Hollings said the process had been “accelerated” in light of recent claims that newspaper and magazine publishers were still using free or discounted copies to boost figures. Media Federation of Australia chairman John Sintras wrote to the ABC demanding an investigation into claims that surfaced in mid-April on the Crikey internet site.

It was difficult to ignore the event. On the day it republished, for the first time, its first Canberra edition of 32 pages in full. [The first national edition contained 24 pages.] Printer Peter Edwards kept a copy of the first Canberra issue for 30 years until his retirement when he handed it over to News Limited’s group production director, George Calvi.

In its editorial on its 40th birthday, the Australian said it was well aware of the criticism that “we are too Sydney-centric, but are constantly looking for ways to ensure our Sydney presence does not colour our perspective or determine our priorities”.
