Fairfax Media’s Sydney Morning Herald editor-in-chief, Darren Goodsir, resigns
Fairfax Media’s Sydney Morning Herald editor-in-chief, Darren Goodsir, has resigned after three-and-a-half years in the position and almost 20 years with the company.
Sean Alymer, Fairfax Media’s editorial director, said: “Darren’s an incredibly talented journalist. He’s more than made his mark during his outstanding 32 years in journalism.
“That The Sydney Morning Herald reigns supreme as the nation’s number one masthead across all platforms is a credit to Darren’s outstanding editorial leadership of an incredibly talented team.

A significant loss to Fairfax in terms of both outstanding journalism and elegant leadership. One of the finest I’ve worked with.
Sad to see Darren go. He guided the SMH well through some treacherous waters. That it is the most-read masthead in the country by some degree, across combined digital and print, is testament to that. No other newspaper in Australia is so focused on uncovering corruption in all its forms. Their investigations are unparalleled. Good luck to Lisa and James.
