The Spunky New Face of the 'Post'


Everyone knows the New York Post can be a great read, and we hear it's a fun place to work these days, especially if you're from Australia or the U.K. But staffers at the titillating tabloid also know that anyone can be fired for any reason at any time.
In early February, the Voice can now reveal, Post editor in chief Col Allan abruptly fired Sunday editor and longtime Post veteran Marilyn Matlick, apparently because she was too feisty and butted heads with the boss. The acting Sunday editor is now Geoff Stead, who hails from the Daily Telegraph in Sydney, Australia, where Allan previously ran the show. Indeed, the Aussie mentality is now so entrenched at the Post that the standard newsroom greeting is "G'day, mate!"
