Ex-Guardian Australia editor promoted to editor-in-chief, replacing Alan Rusbridger
Katharine Viner, who headed up the Guardian’s recent foray into the Australian market, has been promoted to the role of editor-in-chief of the Guardian global editorial operations, replacing Alan Rusbridger who is to step down later this year.
Viner will be the first female editor of the newspaper in its 194-year history.
The announcement of Viner’s promotion came overnight and follows her winning majority support of Guardian staff in an indicative internal ballot held earlier this month.
Commenting on her promotion, Viner said: “Being editor-in-chief of the Guardian and Observer is an enormous privilege and responsibility, leading a first class team of journalists revered around the world for outstanding reporting, independent thinking, incisive analysis and digital innovation.”
So the Grauniad persists with its indulgent hippy collectivism. Sadly these guys are eating the future of the only serious not for profit news organisation left on the planet. Unbelievable.
If you’re gonna comment, Typical, at least say something coherent
A fascist right wing troll?
Typical is right. These guys are burning money at a rate that makes certain the failure of the trust that funds them. It is indulgent behaviour and they are irresponsible. That concern it’s future is the exact opposite of trolling.
In fact Typical has some big name references http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/c.....e-guardian
I thought the Trust now has assets of well over $1b which generates a return of tens of millions more than the Guardian’s losses? Doesn’t sound like a hippy collective to me…
