Brisbane Times promotes deputy editor Danielle Cronin to newly-created editor role

Cronin: editor of Brisbane Times after five years as deputy editor

Fairfax Media has promoted Brisbane Times deputy editor Danielle Cronin to editor of the masthead.

Simon Holt remains editor-in-chief; however, his role has been expanded to focus on growth opportunities and realising commercial ventures and partnerships.

Cronin steps up in to the newly-created role of editor after almost five years as deputy. Previous to that she was the federal political correspondent at the Canberra Times.
