The Daily Telegraph is “considering installing a small etching of Warwick Fairfax in its tea-room”.
In the latest hilarious stuff-up at its so-called “newsroom of the future”, the Herald has installed massive pillars at its new Pyrmont office depicting a huge etched image of the News Corporation chief.
Mr Murdoch, of course, has much better taste in newspapers – he owns this one for starters.
And the fractuous Herald staff, whose dislike of Mr Murdoch is eclipsed only by their hostility towards their own bosses, Fairfax and Rural Press, are furious.
There are about 25 of the Murdoch pillars throughout the editorial floor, where Herald managers are making much of the company’s attempts to become an integrated media company. The company spent millions on its move from Darling Park to Pyrmont, and one source said outside consultants were paid “a vast sum” to design the pillars to “make some sort of statement about modern media.”
shades of mao, stalin, lenin, hussein…and their statues in every city square.
Spooky…Orwellian portraits of big brother everywhere in the work place…looks like a coven for new world order druids…oh no it’s really a “news room”…sanctioned by the ministry of truth. 😉
BTW: has anyone else noticed that Murdoch is experiencing trouble hiding his megalomania lately?
You folks did pick up on the fact that this isn’t a Murdoch owned newsroom?
If they are that concerned about their jobs, perhaps they could consider getting Murdock’s face tatooed on their butts? (then get into the habit of ‘hanging a rat’ as a corporate greeting)?

So this idol worship?…wow that’s really druidic.
