The Herald Sun reports<\/a> a memo was sent to staff this morning.<\/p>\n\u201cDelivering the news every day has been an absolute privilege,\u201d Salter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud to have led two of Australia\u2019s finest newsrooms, achieving record commercial share in Adelaide and growing market share in Melbourne during a period of significant industry change.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom spearheading coverage of some of the most significant events in Australia\u2019s history, building the best sports department in the country, forging new partnerships and creating a culture and workplace that attracts the best talent \u2013 it has been a rewarding journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo every presenter, journalist, producer, camo and colleague who gives their all, day in and day out \u2013 thank you. You are the heart of 7News and leading you has been one of the greatest honours of my career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited for the next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seven\u2019s Director of News and Current Affairs Ray Kuka said, \u201cChris Salter has chosen to depart the Melbourne newsroom at this point in his career and goes on great terms with our thanks for what he created and blessings for a strong future in his next role. We have a strong relationship and expect that to continue in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
A successor is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
His departure follows the quiet exit by longtime newsman Mike Amor over the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019m excited for the next chapter,” says news director who moves on after 11 years with Seven.
