Mike Sneesby a signatory to all-staff email detailing response to allegations of predatory behaviour and bullying in newsrooms
Nine acknowledges ‘trauma’ and need to ‘do more’ after allegations of sexual harassment and toxic culture
Embattled chief executive Mike Sneesby was listed as a signatory to the email alongside chair of the Nine board, Peter Costello, and Nine’s chief people officer, Vanessa Morley.“It is important we all acknowledge the trauma some of you have experienced in the past, and the distress and frustration the substance of these reports has caused.”
Further allegations have since been reported in the media of inappropriate behaviour by Wick towards female colleagues - often reportedly fuelled by alcohol - and also accusations that he led a culture of bullying and intimidation in the newsroom. “People knew they couldn’t speak out because they knew nothing would be done, and they would be the ones to suffer the consequences.”In its email sent Thursday, Nine said it had commissioned an external independent review to “examine the recent reports that detail alleged serious failings of leadership in television news and current affairs included misuse of power and inappropriate behaviour”.
