The Age is letting go of one of the country’s best arts writers Philippa Hawker. Since 1997 Philippa has been writing on film and the arts for The Age and Fairfax media. Her detail and depth of knowledge is immense.

Philippa’s departure will result in a greatly diminished arts scene coverage in Melbourne. 

We ask you to please sign and share this petition to not only ensure Philippa’s position but also the future of quality arts representation and coverage in the media.
