We commemorate the passing of David Yaffa, proprietor of ADM's publisher Yaffa Media, over the weekend. A staunchly independent and passionate publisher, David built an empire of more than 30 business and consumer magazines and websites, becoming a significant force in Australian media. The thoughts of the ADM team are with the Yaffa family. The office will be closed on Friday as a mark of respect.
