Paul Tatnell has wrapped up at the Herald Sun. 

He announced his exit in a Tweet that also hinted at him going to Racing.com. He had been at the paper for nine years, with most of his service logged as chief of staff and then assistant editor for the past six months.

Racing.com confirmed Tatnell will join early next month as its new editor-in-chief and GM for content – just in time for the Spring Carnival. 

Tatnell said the new job reflected the interest in horse racing he got into at the Herald Sun. He will also work alongside mainstay Matt Welsh, who was promoted to GM for form and wagering after a long period as form analyst.

"Paul's outstanding newsroom leadership skills will help Racing.com strengthen its position at the forefront of thoroughbred racing news, storytelling and social media," lauded Racing.com CEO Andrew Catterall.

Seven West Media has tapped former APN Outdoor head James Warburton as its new managing director and CEO.

Company chairman Kerry Stokes said Tim Worner’s sudden resignation late last week triggered a need for fresh moves. 

Warburton himself is a familiar face in the Seven West family. He was with the firm from 2003 to 2011, with his most prominent role being chief digital and sales officer. His departure at the time was rocky due to noncompete issues over him assuming the CEO role at Ten.

However, Stokes said they have reconciled over what happened and are committed to working together again. 

"The industry is going through an issue where traditional media and revenue are getting more difficult, we thought that if we’re going to change the company and pursue the next phase of some growth we had to change the way we do business,” said Stokes.

"To do that we needed an agent for change, an agent who understood the industry, who understood re

Veteran reporter Jane Hutcheon is ready to leave the ABC behind after 25 years at the network.

Hutcheon said she will be stepping down from hosting her show One Plus One next month, with other presenters lined up to host the show after her farewell episode, which will also put her up as the guest interviewee.

“I’m leaving because I need challenge.  After years o
