How did a short piece in a gossip column lead to tumultuous events that saw the Sydney Morning Herald publish three apologies in as many days?
“Some critics have tried to portray the use of the word ‘strike’ as some kind of conspiracy but this was simply a stuff-up, which was later corrected,” Shield wrote in his apology in March.
Shields’ failure to read the room on Rebel Wilson went on for another two days, prompting an anonymous staffer to send an all-staff email to colleagues claiming the“Here we are again – our newsroom has become the story,” the email sent on Monday afternoon stated. “Many of you who have come to me with issues – professional or personal – know that I am a decent and fair person, and committed to the Herald and everyone who works here. We are a great masthead and in a great position. I have obviously seen the anonymous note sent this afternoon.”
