They had monitored the botched rollout of the Atex/Cybergraphics system called Genera at The Age, which is four months behind schedule. $20m down the gurgler. Oops. Perhaps they better sack a few staff.

Or I should say, madder. Today they told their longstanding and hardworking Sydney legal team that they are no longer needed. A newspaper telling its legal team they are no longer valued? What's the message there? Apparently Fairfax intends to outsource any legalling, as if that will save any costs or improve efficiency. Don't expect any more hard stories in the SMH or the Sun Herald. In fact, you might well wonder if it is worth continuing to read the SMH at all under this regime. There'll be plenty of fashion (all of page three every day and no doubt mostly DJs stuff) and plenty of lifestyle stuff, plus oodles of recycled PR releases, but no time or journalists to find hard stories that need any digging, take time or are in any way legally risky. The Fairfax management might as well turn to producing 'shop till you drop' guides. The Fairfax management has gone mad. Or I should say, madder.
