Mediaweek visited the Fairfax office in Sydney to talk to The Sydney Morning Herald’s new editor Judith Whelan on the Friday before the title begun its 185th birthday celebrations. “The history of The Herald is essentially the history of Sydney,” Whelan told Mediaweek. She credited the birth of the paper for “the beginning of the exchange of ideas in a public forum.” The 185-year-long journey for Australia’s oldest metro newspaper has been one of constant change. As a part of this cycle, Fairfax announced 120 fulltime editorial job cuts in Sydney and Melbourne earlier this year. “Every single media organisation in the world is having to transform itself. That transformation inevitably means that new jobs will emerge and jobs, which have been around for a long time, might disappear,” Whelan commented. “What we are going through now is a part of that transformation. “We have to keep changing. We have to keep adapting what our audience wants from us.” Also discussed on the podcast: How The Sydney Morning Herald’s journey is the journey of the city How the audience would react to the front page of The Sydney Morning Herald printed in the style of 1831. The quality v quantity debate: Does the number of journalist working for a newspaper impact the quality of a newspaper and the number of articles produced? How does an editor work with the editor-in-chief Darren Goodsir? Before becoming the editor of The Sydney Morning Herald, Whelan was the news director of the title. She talks about how her experience has helped with the new role.

Alfie Allen is disarmingly charming. Sitting down with one of the stars of what is arguably the most talked about TV show on the planet is always going to be a thrill, but Allen takes it all in his stride and puts everyone he talks to at ease. It is very quickly apparent that Allen appreciates the opportunities that the show has provided him and is thrilled to be on a show as significant as Game of Thrones. Allen’s character, Theon Grayjoy, has been through a lot on the show. Initially starting the series with a swagger, the character has figuratively been through hell and back as he was psychologically and physically emasculated by a cruel torturer over the run of the show. Now, however, Grayjoy is set to take a more significant role in the show, pushing Allen further into the limelight. Throughout this chat with Mediaweek deputy editor Dan Barrett, Allen offers some insight into working with such a decentralised cast, improvements to the craft services table thanks to new cast member Ian McShane, and he remarks on the insensitivity of actor Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Stark) to certain plot twists Theon Greyjoy has gone through.
