Rupert's PR Person Quits

From the New York Observer...

"Teri Everett, News Corp’s top PR person, is leaving. The reason given? From the News Corp press release...“The past decade has, without a doubt, been the highlight of my career,” commented Ms. Everett. “News Corp. executives are a peerless group and I will miss them immensely. I will always be grateful to Rupert and Chase for their support over the years and am thrilled that Julie will be succeeding me. While it may be a tired cliché, I am ready for something new.”

I would be ready for something new too, if my job was to try to spin the news coming out of England these days. Imagine if every morning you picked up the newspaper, there was a story about one of your company's employees getting arrested.
