KEY POINTS:
North & South magazine editor Robyn Langwell has been forced out of the job she has held for 22 years.
A source close to Langwell has confirmed the award-winning editor is to step down from the role, with June 20 set to be her final day on the job.
The founding editor of North & South, Langwell was recently named current affairs columnist and Supreme Columnist of the Year at the Magazine Publishers Association Awards.
Rumours of her impending departure began circulating yesterday, when subscribers received the July issue of the magazine, featuring an editorial by Langwell, entitled Golden Moments.
In the column, Langwell described her job as editor as "the role I love" and paid tribute to the writers and designers at North & South, commending their talent and tenacity.
It is understood that Langwell is not leaving of her own volition and lawyers are involved in the matter.
ACP Media, which owns the title, is believed to have made Langwell redundant as part of a restructuring move.
ACP group publisher Debra Millar was unavailable for comment today but yesterday told the Business Herald she expected to confirm changes to the company by the end of this week.
