Chairman of the board: Ron Walker (no scoop here).

CEO: David Kirk (currently CEO of of PMP and ex All Black rugby captain) … Robert Thomson (currently editor of the London Times) … Brian Evans (currently Fairfax chief operating officer, but apparently
not considered strategic or polished enough for the important CEO’s
office with its electrically operated door).

Editor of The Sydney Morning Herald: Mark Scott (currently Fairfax editor-in-chief) … Glenn Burge (currently editor of the Financial Review who Crikey understands has been interviewed for the SMH editorship but he was told he had too much work still to do lifting the sagging circulation of the Fin and he wouldn’t be considered) … Martin Peers (currently deputy editor of the media and marketing section at the Wall Street Journal. Peers, a former Hobart Mercury and Fin reporter, shared in a WSJ
Pulitzer a couple of years back, but word is he’s happy in New York and
told Fairfax recruiters he’s not interested in returning to Australia)
… Peter Wilson (currently European correspondent of The Australian, who’s an unlikely starter because he’s probably headed for a big job at The Oz) ... Lis Sterel (currently the Herald’s managing editor of news,
a smart but very straight operator who would become the paper’s first
woman editor) … Robert Thomson (continues to be mentioned in
dispatches, but this job would be a major come-down from running The Times).

Editor of The Age:
Neil Mitchell (currently talk back personality on Melbourne’s 3AW, but
strongly supported by Walker and regarded as a hot tip to replace
current Age editor Andrew Jaspan if Walker takes over as chairman).
