Email to staff says Lavelle’s editorship ‘returned the Age to a position of strength’, but gives no reason for his departure
The editor of the Age, Alex Lavelle, is leaving the publication after 20 years on staff and almost four years as editor, less than a week after journalists expressed concern over the paper’s editorial direction being increasingly decided by
Sydney.
His departure was announced in an all-staff email on Thursday afternoon, obtained by Guardian Australia.
