In this roundup from the Encore and Mumbrella Annual, we look back at the year in newspapers.
In January, writer, editor and publisher of women’s website Mamamia.com.au, Mia Freedman, joins News Limited as a syndicated Sunday columnist jumping ship from Fairfax. In November, 10 months into a two-year contract, Freedman is unceremoniously dumped for “business reasons”.
——————————————-
News Limited’s new boss Kim Williams announces a merging of the company’s newspaper and digital sales teams. It is the first of many announcements from the News camp in 2012.
——————————————————————————————————–
February begins with a release of the latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The Sydney Morning Herald is the hardest hit, losing 12 per cent of its weekday circulation, with newspaper circulations atrophying by four per cent overall.
——————————————————————————————————–
In March, Melbourne’s News Limited tabloid the Herald Sun switches on a paywall, adopting a freemium model.

Kate Cox has become the struggling Sun-Herald’s third editor in three years as part of Fairfax Metro’s widespread restructure of its Nsw operation.
Cox has become editor of the Sunday tabloid after it recorded some of the biggest percentage circulation drops in Australian newspaper history since relaunching in March.
Editor Rick Feneley will become “senior writer across all platforms” after about 18 months at the helm. He replaced Simon Delhunty, who led the Sun-Herald’s previous relaunch.
Cox’s promotion comes less than a year after being appointed to edit Sunday Life.
Both News Limited and Fairfax have moved to restructure their staff with single editorial teams across weekday and weekend newspapers and across both print and online. News has labelled its position “one city one newsroom”.
The Fairfax appointments are the latest since the departure of the Sydney Morning Herald’s publisher and editor Peter Fray and Amanda Wilson.

The print edition of Fairfax Media’s Sun-Herald has suffered the biggest percentage fall in the newspaper’s history, figures released by the company suggest.
According to Fairfax’s monthly update to the market on its audiences across all of its platforms, the Sun-Herald fell to a new low of 432,617 in May – a drop of 19% on the same time a year before.
As well as the ongoing decline in the print market, a major factor was the company’s shift in strategy to focus on increasing cover price rather than chasing circulation. The price went up from $2 to $2.30 in most of its market and up to $2.50 in northern New South Wales. It is the first time the company has put a regional premium on the Sunday edition.

Aylmer
Fairfax editorial director Garry Linnell has announced the appointment of Sean Aylmer as editor-in-chief of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun-Herald, along with the appointment of Smh editor Darren Goodsir as director of news, across print and digital in Sydney. The announcement comes hours after the announcement of the departure of editor-in-chief Peter Fray and editor Amanda Wilson.
Goodsir’s digital experience includes launching Fairfax’s online opinion site, the National Times. Mark Hawthorne has been appointed Acting National Business Editor.
Linell said in a press release: “Sean has an outstanding journalistic background but it’s also his leadership skills – and passion for Sydney – that sees him well-equipped to steer the Herald through the coming years. He has played crucial leadership roles in previous newsrooms undergoing change and has been a critical part of the project team overseeing our shift toward a digital future.”
Aylmer was formerly editor at Brw.

Fray: Out
The drama at Fairfax have continued with Sydney Morning Herald’s editor-in-chief and publisher Peter Fray, editor Amanda Wilson and The Age’s editor-in-chief Paul Ramadge all stepping down from their roles.
Mumbrella understands that the three are also leaving the organisation.
Sean Nicholls, state political editor of the Smh tweeted a few moments ago: “Peter Fray ends his resignation speech with: ‘Thank you all – and good luck’.”
The departures follow last week’s announcement of 1,900 job cuts as Fairfax restructures. In today’s Australian, there was speculation that a new structure would be created with a national newsroom structure and five geographic editors covering Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra.
Linnell: More announcements later
The structure would potentially put editorial director Garry Linnell at the top of the tree.
According to Nicholls, Linnell is due to make more announcements at 4pm.
The Smh quotes Linnell as saying:...
