Nine News dismisses Sydney news director Simon Hobbs, following an internal culture review.

Nine News has dismissed its Sydney news director Simon Hobbs, who led the newsroom for nearly 13 years, following the departure of Queensland news director Amanda Patterson. Both exits occurred shortly after an internal review of the network's culture was released, though no direct link has been established. Fiona Dear, Nine's news director, has not provided reasons for the dismissals. Hobbs' deputy, Margie McLew, will take over his role temporarily.
