One of the ABC’s most passionate champions of radio, Helen Thomas, is leaving the ABC after yet another restructure in radio saw her job disappear.
Thomas, who is an author of five books, has consistently fought for more resources for News Radio which is run on the smell of an oily rag.
In a note to staff ABC News chief Gaven Morris said in her “stellar career” Thomas had worked at the ABC for 30 years including stints on Triple J, RN Breakfast and Background Briefing as well as Radio National.
