Jonathan Marshall ‘quits News Limited’

Jonathan Marshall, the reporter who secretly recorded Alan Jones saying that Julia Gillard’s father ‘died of shame’, has resigned from News Limited reports Media Watch.

According to a comment from John McGourty News Limited’s executive editor of the editorial network, Marshall recently departed the publisher.

“Jonathan Marshall has resigned on his own accord to pursue other opportunities,” McGourty told the ABC’s Media Watch.

Marshall – News Limited’s network investigations editor – made headlines last year after he secretly recorded the radio broadcaster Alan Jones telling an audience that the Prime Minister’s father “died of shame” because of his daughter’s political “lies”.
