Culture editor of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age Osman Faruqi and former Private Sydney columnist Andrew Hornery have headlined the departures at Nine Publishing this week, as the company completes the process of executing major redundancies foreshadowed earlier this year. 

There were a raft of other departures from across the Nine mastheads, including senior Australian Financial Review correspondents Aaron Patrick, Ben Potter and Michael Pelly, as well as the Herald’s chief sports scribe Andrew Webster, senior reporter Helen Pitt, North American correspondent Farrah Tomazin, books editor Jason Steger, Indigenous Affairs editor Jack Latimore and cartoonist John Shakespeare.
