The West trawls the newsroom

January 20, 2009 – 9:58 pm, by Margaret Simons

The West Australian is trawling the newsroom, and further afield, to find a replacement for departed editor Paul Armstrong. This message went out to staff today:

Dear All,

Bob Cronin has urged staff who believe they are up to the task to apply for the vacant editor’s position.

I also encourage our people to apply for the job if they think they have got what it takes.

We have engaged some outside help to assist in the recruitment and selection process.

If you want to throw your hat in the ring, in the first instance please send your CV to Company Secretary, Peter Bryant, as soon as possible.

Regards,

Chris Wharton

Chief Executive Officer

    The only paper in Australia that is looking for an editor at the moment is The Canberra Times. Paul Armstrong could become editor for The Canberra Times.
