The new executive producer of Nine’s Today show Neil Breen made the jump to TV after 23 years in print. He spoke to Brooke Hemphill about his surprise appointment as editor of The Sunday Telegraph, being in Kevin Rudd’s bad books and his plans for Today.
Neil Breen sits behind The Sunday Telegraph editor’s desk at News Limited’s Sydney headquarters on Holt Street. He’s into his last few days on the job and outside his office are rows of empty desks as many of the staff have moved across the floor to join their colleagues from The Daily Telegraph in the newly consolidated seven-day newsroom.
Breen is about to leave the building to start his new role as executive producer of Nine’s breakfast program, Today, and he’s talking down expectations about making the leap to a different medium in which he has little more...

Nrma Motoring and Services has launched a campaign that celebrates how the company’s roadside assistance staff can help people get out of embarrassing car-related problems.
The Proclaimer’s hit ‘I’m on my way’ is the music used in the ad, which carries the slogan ‘No one gets you on your way, like Nrma.’
Stw Group agency Lawrence Creative Strategy was behind the campaign.
Lawrence commented: “This line was used many years ago but felt even more relevant today. Too often brands try to keep reinventing themselves rather than stay single minded on what they are truly good at. In Nrma’s case, it was help.”
Bronwyn Shearer, Nrma’s head of brand and acquisition marketing added: “These ads are about what is at the core of everything we do at Nrma. It reminds people about our point of difference compared to other roadside assistance providers.”
