There have been several high-profile resignations at Fairfax Media, including Sydney Morning Herald editor Amanda Wilson and publisher and editor-in-chief Peter Fray, Fairfax journalists reported on Twitter.
Wilson was the first female editor of the Herald.
In Melbourne, editor Paul Ramadge has also announced he is leaving the Age newspaper, telling staff he left with 'divided feelings', but did not disagree with new strategies announced last week.
"I'm leaving an organisation that has been my passion, my every day and really a place of learning for 16 years," he told the Age Online.
"But also have some growing excitement about how I may be able to use my skills elsewhere." Fairfax journalists reported emotional scenes in the newsrooms.
