Exactly one week to go before I wrap things up as IT Editor at the AFR. It feels vaguely surreal, I gotta say. People have been asking me all sorts of questions from the profound to the practical. On the practical side, my last day as I said before, is April 4. On the other side of Easter, I will embark on my freelance journalism career writing primarily for Fairfax Media. I've already been commissioned on a few stories, so that's great. If you want to keep in touch, my work email is markhjones <at> gmail.com. Naturally enough, I also have some other plans in the works, but more on that later!
If you'd like to join me for a few celebratory drinks, we'll be at Sydney's City Hotel some time after 6:30pm on Tuesday April 3. And when I say we, that's a few of my AFR colleagues including Tony Boyd, who after 18 years at the AFR (a few years spent as IT Editor, interestingly enough) is also leaving on the same day as yours truly.
Hey Mark - Wish I could be there! I wish you the best of luck with this big step :)
