Seven West Media’s new boss Jeff Howard has warned he is willing to weed out staffers who show poor judgement or engage in unacceptable behaviour, promising a clean slate after “a few bad apples” tarred the media company.
“Our great people don’t deserve to be tarred with the same brush as a small number of bad apples,” Howard said in the email.“I’ve never smoked. I don’t use drugs. Never have, never will. Call me boring, but I don’t even drink coffee.” In a direct reference to the Lehrmann interviews, Howard told staff the company will “absolutely” be honest about where and when it pays or makes contributions in exchange for securing access or stories.
