Claire Askew promoted to editor of Cosmopolitan
Bauer Media has named Claire Askew the new editor of Cosmopolitan, filling the void of Bronwyn McCahon who departed in February.
Claire has been deputy editor of Cosmopolitan since April 2014. She joined Bauer Media Australia in June 2011 as lifestyle director for Woman’s Day, which followed her two-plus years as deputy editor for Cosmopolitan in the UK.
Marina Go, general manager Hearst Australia and publisher of Bauer Media’s young women’s portfolio, said in a statement: “Claire is a highly experienced editor and understands the Cosmopolitan brand inside and out having worked on it both in Australia and the UK.
A Brit?! Editing aussie Cosmo? Greaaaaat
New deputy is….?
Darn those immigrants eh Nick – only good for cleaning jobs at Aldi!
Hi Audret,
Good question – Bauer is yet to appoint a deputy. They are “deciding that in due course”. I’ve also updated the story to include that line.
Cheers,
Miranda – Mumbrella
Great work Claire… Well deserved!
Nick,
claire lives and works here. Aussie life, culture and fashion. I fail to see how where she is from has anything to do with her suitability for the job
Nick, do you think all poms should only get cleaning jobs
