Tenure As Editor For Melbourne Age
Jaspan joined The Age as Editor-in-Chief in October 2004. Throughout his appointment as Editor in Chief at The Age, circulation, readership and online figures increased.
In April 2004, Age journalists voted unanimously to pass a motion accusing him of undermining their ability to report without fear or favour.
In August 2008, Jaspan was sacked from his position and was replaced immediately as editor by senior deputy, Paul Ramadge. The move came a day after Fairfax announced 550 jobs would go from its Australian and New Zealand operations.

“Provence,
The Renascence, the age of Pericles, each
A broad, rich-carpeted stair to pride
With manhood now the cost they’re easy to follow
For the ways taken are all notorious,
Lettered, sculptured, and rhymed....”
