Brad Hatch steps up as corporate voice of Fairfax Media
Fairfax Media has installed a new manager of corporate communications after doing without one for more than three years.
Australian Financial Review journalist Brad Hatch, a former lawyer, quietly moved into the role in recent weeks.
Hatch is not a direct replacement for the company’s corporate affairs chief Bruce Wolpe, who returned to his native US to become a congressional adviser in early 2009.
Wolpe, who had been the voice of Fairfax Media for a decade, has since returned to Australia where he is now an adviser within Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s office.
