By Jonas Lopez in Media News on Friday, 13th July 2018 at 11:31am
The ABC has recruited veteran Fairfax Media man Peter FitzSimons to be part of the crew.
FitzSimons will be tasked as a guest reporter on ABC’s Foreign Correspondent, with his assignment being flying to New Zealand to interview one of the 1,300 Kiwis deported from Australia per changes to the Migration Act. He will also discuss the issue with Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton. The episode is slated to air next week.
FitzSimons is currently covering the international sports scene for various outlets. Although his guest reporter assignment is a paid one-off opportunity, he told The Australian’s Stephen Brook that he is donating the paycheque to charity. His entry comes as the ABC is facing internal challenges, with the retrenchment of 22 journalists from the newsroom to make way for digital-savvy reporters a big sticking point.

Instead of being a bi-monthly publication, Nourish will be released every six weeks and offers content on topics such as sustainable plant-based health and wellness, and “cruelty-free” fashion and beauty.
“Our vision for nourish is a magazine that will showcase the rich and varied world emerging as designers, restaurateurs, manufacturers, retail stores, and even fast-food chains worldwide join the vegan movement. We want to educate our readers about plant-based lifestyle and health, and support them in their journey, whether they are long-term vegans or just exploring the possibilities,” said Lovatts Media CEO Rachael Northey.
