Melbourne newspaper The Age has revealed chief footy writer and regular FIVEAA contributor Caroline Wilson will step down from her current role at the paper.
Caro will remain at The Age as a columnist and podcast panellist, but Jake Niall will now be chief footy writer.
“It’s been a great privilege to have spent the past two decades covering the greatest sport in the world at one of the world’s best newspapers,” Wilson said.
“Although this is a melancholy day for me I’m so happy to be continuing as a contributor to The Age. Writing a weekly column during the football season and being involved with the podcast is the ideal transition for me to do other things and I’m so proud to be handing over the baton to my great friend and long-time colleague Jake Niall.
“Jake was the perfect successor and I know The Age will continue to set the agenda with its unique perspective and independent coverage of Australian Rules football.”
Some big news from us today: Caroline Wilson has decided to step down as chief football writer, with @JakeNiallFOX to take up the position in the new year. Wilson will remain with us to do a weekly column & podcast https://t.co/1sXIudB5oi
