Fox Sports today confirmed that reporter Tom Morris will not return to his employment following an investigation into an inappropriate WhatsApp audio recording.
Fox Sports Executive Director Steve Crawley said: “Our culture at Fox Sports is based on a respectful, inclusive environment and a fair go for all.
“While Tom’s journalism has made a valuable contribution to Fox Sports over the past seven years, the message we became aware of yesterday crossed the line. It was unacceptable.
“We have the best in the business working at Fox Sports. We love what we do, and we have a reputation as a great place to work. The bottom line is we are committed to a work environment where everyone can come to work in the knowledge they are safe, respected and valued. We have zero-tolerance for anything less than that.”
Fox Sports will make no other comment on the matter for privacy reasons.
