Mathieson resigns as editor of The Australian
Clive Mathieson, editor of The Australian, has resigned from the role after nearly five years to take on a role as a senior strategic advisor for NSW Premier Mike Baird.
Mathieson confirmed to Mumbrella he was departing the company, ending his almost-five year tenure as editor. He first joined News Corp’s national broadsheet in July 2002 and was made editor of the newspaper in April 2011. Previously he spent three years at The Times in London.
He will join the office of Mike Baird as director of economic, infrastructure and state priorities, according to a report in The Australian.
Mike Baird should also employ former Melbourne Mayer John So. He was also good at the sizzle without the sausage.
Very odd choice by Baird. Though you Clive is talented and should have taken over from Mitchell.
Just moving from one dept of the LNP to another, that’s all.
