From Mark Scott

Dear Colleagues

I am honoured to be selected as the next Managing Director of the ABC. To be invited to lead the national broadcaster is a compelling opportunity, particularly at this important time in its history.

At the same time, I am very sad to leave the best publisher in Australia, and one of the most outstanding media companies in the world. This is an exciting time for Fairfax, and the dynamic leadership it is enjoying with David Kirk.

I am most proud of the strong, driving editors in all our mastheads, who are setting the news agenda and growing circulation and readership, in print and online. Quality, independent journalism is the core of what we do -- and we do it so well.

It has been a privilege to work with you, and please accept my thanks and best wishes.

Sincerely,

Mark Scott
