  Andrew Jaspan new Age editor-in-chief - National - www.theage.com.au
Fairfax has announced that Andrew Jaspan, the current editor of Sunday Herald in Scotland, will be the next editor-in-chief of The Age.
Born in Manchester, Mr Jaspan started his career in journalism as a reporter for the Telegraph in London in 1980 before moving to the Daily Mirror and The Sunday Times.
Mr Jaspan admitted his experience of Melbourne was limited, but he said he had forged a strong connection with Australia during his childhood, living in the Hunter Valley, Canberra and Perth between the ages of seven and 14.

  Andrew Jaspan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Jaspan, a British journalist, was appointed in October, 2004, as Editor-in-Chief of The Age, a broadsheet daily newspaper published in Melbourne, Australia.
Previously, Jaspan was Editor of The Observer from 1995-1996 and Editor of The Scotsman and Scotland on Sunday.
His arrival was not welcomed by some who were offended by remarks made prior to his appointment as Age Editor, that he was looking forward to working in Sydney.

 Crikey Website - The Andrew Jaspan files   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Jaspan is eager to keep plans for the new section under wraps and has exhorted staff not to discuss it, which isn't proving too hard given no one has quite got their head around what he wants or how it's going to look.
Jaspan launched into an angry rant at a conference of senior editors on Friday (March 18), warning he was determined to find who was leaking to Crikey and “march them out the door”, even if it led to industrial action.
Jaspan, 41, had a reputation as a circulation-builder and disciplinarian with creative skills, all of which were exaggerated beyond his capabilities.

 Andrew Jaspan's manifesto for a dying democracy (Bilegrip)
The reason is simple: It is the only major daily in Australia dedicated to fighting John Howard's trashing of the Westminster system of democracy by installing a dictatorship that will likely result in the country becoming a terrorist state with its own citizens as prey.
The irony is that last year when Jaspan arrived from Scotland to take over The Age, we all screamed blue murder that an Aussie was not good enough for the job.
I don't know why Andrew Jaspan was given the job; it seemed an odd choice at the time.

 Scotsman.com Business - Media & Leisure - Jaspan's departure heralds a new age   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Jaspan had tried to deflect the rumours but despite his denials, few in Scotland - particularly in the Sunday Herald’s Cowcaddens offices - doubted he was on his way out.
Jaspan was later introduced to 30 senior Age staff in a video link meet-and-greet but he was said to have been given a frosty introduction, with not one of the senior editors asking him a question.
At the time Herald insiders said Jaspan failed to get the job not only because of what was perceived as an unreasonable attitude to other members of the senior management team, but because of fears he would turn the daily into a slow, six day a week Sunday, as he had done with The Scotsman.

Jaspan, who regularly uses his newspaper to deliberately print lies about The Scotsman, made a number of false statements about The Scotsman which this newspaper seeks to correct for the record.
Jaspan: "I do not think the agenda is that different between the two papers, it is not a serious newspaper.
The logic of Jaspan’s argument is that Scotland’s media should be a one-party state, with everybody parroting the same pro-establishment line of the newspaper he edits.

Mr Jaspan, born in Manchester, lived in Australia between the ages of seven and 15 before returning home to study at the University of Manchester.

 The Volokh Conspiracy - Mind-boggling quote
Jaspan actually says Wood was insensitive twice, and the first time he MAY have been saying that Wood was insensitive to his family at the press conference who were offended that such language was used.
But the second time Jaspan uses "insensitive," in the context of how well Jaspan thinks Wood was treated, he really and truly does deem to be saying that Wood was insensitive to his own captors.
Andrew Jaspan's statement was so ill-conceived that anyone who is both intelligent and intellectually honest will recognize it as absurd without further comment.

Their spat exposes the deep divide between tartan tigers, such as Jaspan, who say the Scottish Parliament has won the right to govern north of the border, and bitter-end Unionists, such as Neil, who believe the country's governing classes are not up to the job and should hand back control to Westminster.
Jaspan, who has beaten Fleet Street's big guns to win a series of press awards including editor of the year, denied the claim.
Jaspan, Neil wrote, filled his paper with 'drivel' which was designed to prop up members of the new Scottish Parliament who have been accused of pocket-stuffing and laziness.

Neil told friends that Jaspan, an award-winning former editor of the Scotsman, Scotland on Sunday, which he revamped and boosted circulation, and the Observer, which proved ill-fated, 'would beat the bullet train to Edinburgh' to edit the Scotsman.
Jaspan, who has beaten Fleet Street's big guns to win a series of press awards, including editor of the year, said he would never work for Neil again because he was a 'meddling bloody nightmare'.
Alan Cochrane, Scottish editor of the Daily Telegraph, said Jaspan appeared to have a pathological hatred for Neil, who took charge of the 185-year-old group in 1996 and transformed its agenda from broadly liberal, literary, cultured, pro-European and pro-business to right-wing and hostile to Europe and devolution.

Sullivan worried about the liberal's self-evident sympathies and how they could become a fifth column in the country, then extends hope that 9/11 may have finally weaned American liberals from their love affair with nihilist left, and finally expresses disappointment as they lurched uncontrollable back into the MoveOn.org camp.

Jaspan is editor-in-chief of The Age, Australia's most Left-wing daily newspaper, and on ABC radio on Wednesday said how "boorish" and "coarse" Wood was at his press conference this week when he called his captors "a---holes".
You might wonder whether Jaspan, the Englishman whose paper on that same day published a big picture on page one of naked girls from Big Brother, has the right to call anyone else "coarse".
If what Wood went through is Jaspan's idea of being "treated well", I finally understand why The Age seems so dismayed by the fall of nice Saddam Hussein, who similarly treated his victims so well that more than 300,000 have been found in mass graves.

And worst of all, there were the comments by Jaspan describing Woods as some sort of ingrate and oaf.
My current concern is that the appointment of Andrew Jaspan – a man of the left, judged by his performance on The Observer in London and The Sunday Herald in Scotland – has moved The Age even further to the left.
Andrew Bolt penned a fine column the other day about the $15,000 prize that the thief Bracks intends to bestow on Victoria's most congenial journalist, as decided by the Premier and his flunkies, of course.

I WAS, I have to say, shocked by Douglas Wood's use of the arsehole word, if I can put it like that, which I just thought was coarse and very ill-thought through and I think demeans the man and is one of the reasons why people are slightly sceptical of his motives and everything else.
Dear Andrew Jaspan: (editor of The Age newspaper in Melbourne) "Arse Hole" is nothing compared to"Throat Slit", or "Head Severed".
