News Corp Australia’s CEO elect Peter Tonagh has continued the recent senior management changes at the publisher, moving Brett Clegg to the new role of managing director, community publishing.

Tonagh, who is currently chief operating officer but will succeed Julian Clark as CEO at the end of the year, has also brought back former national director of The Australian John Webster to run News Corp’s Tasmanian operations.

Clegg, the former boss of Fairfax Media’s business group, returned to News in mid-2013 as NSW general manager. The new role puts him in charge of all community titles including the NewsLocal (Sydney), Quest (Brisbane), Leader (Adelaide) and Community Newspaper Group (Perth) stable.
