Robert Gottliebsen, the biggest name in business journalism, has walked out of BRW in a major blow to fairfax and a further boost to The Australian.
IN the slow moving world of business columnists, Robert Gottliebsen has just let a bomb go off at Fairfax by walking out on the magazine he founded and chairs, Business Review Weekly.
The defection to Rupert Murdoch’s flagship The Australia is a major blow to Fairfax because BRW will be the lesser for it and The Australian will be further strengthened as it beefs up its business section to take on Fairfax’s Australian Financial Review.
