Leaving

BORING POST ALERT

Big news for anyone who works at the West - and dead boring for the rest of you... Ian Law the 'Wests' CEO has resigned. He's been here for four year, and has made some sweeping changes.

We've bought radio stations, cinema chains, lots more newspapers, and have done it all with an ever decreasing number of staff. Job security has gone out the window - I can't imagine his leaving will make our fears any worse.

Certainly thanks to him the West has done really well during his time, with the share prices going up for the first time in ages - shame that one of the first things he cut was staff shares :-(

WA Newspapers chief quits to join PBL West Australian Newspapers Holdings Ltd's (WAN) managing director has quit the newspaper publisher to join Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd, in one of two key appointments announced by Kerry Packer's media group. WAN managing director and chief executive Ian Law resigned after three and a half years at the helm of WAN, accepting a role as chief executive of PBL's magazine division Australian Consolidated Press. Shares in WAN dropped 20 cents to $8.00 on the news as the company begins the hunt for a new managing director with Mr Law to leave in May next year.
