FAIRFAX Media is reorganising its operations into five business arms as it continues its massive restructure program. Fairfax is also reshuffling its executive team, with the head of its New Zealand operations, Allen Williams, appointed to head the group's Australian publishing media division. Fairfax's Australian publishing media division will incorporate The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Financial Review newspapers as well as the group's regional, agricultural and community titles. Chief executive Greg Hywood said the formation of the division would simplify how Fairfax did business and reduce bureaucracy. "We have already integrated our print and digital activities in the Metro division, making us a genuine multiplatform media company," Mr Hywood said. The next phase of our transformation is to deliver the full potential of our Australian news, business, lifestyle and community media businesses. Metro Media chief executive Jack Matthews will leave Fairfax following a transition to the new structure. Regional publishing head Allan Browne will also leave the company.
