Jackson

One of The Australian’s most experienced media writers, Sally Jackson, is to join the ABC as its new media manager for its news and current affairs division.

The respected journalist, who spent more than 12 years on the section, is the second News Corp media writer to join the public broadcaster this year, after media editor of The Australian Nick Leys moved to manage media for corporate affairs in February.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the ABC. In fact it’s an honour. I can’t wait to get in there,” Jackson told Mumbrella.

would be interesting to know if jason morrisson 2gb shock jock turns up there too. They were focus grouping his name along with Tim blair and Paul sheehan at a session last week for a show hosted by a “expressed conservative commentator” to deal with the “perception of bias”. I was part of the research group.
