Whish-Wilson also announced today that the Editor of The Sun-Herald, Simon Dulhunty, would continue in his role coordinating the development of Fairfax Media’s digital news apps, and had therefore relinquished his position at The Sun-Herald.
He added that an announcement about the editorship of the Sun-Herald would be made in due course, but that for the time being, Acting Editor Liz Hannan would continue in that position
