Former Seven news director Chris Willis joins Sky News
Seven’s former Sydney news director, Chris Willis, will join Sky News as executive editor of news and talk.
Willis left Seven Network in 2015 after more than 20 years, and has since worked at consulting firm The Change Warehouse, and as a senior adviser to former NSW Opposition Leader, Luke Foley.
That logo is wrong.., it’s a version used in the UK that’s never been used in Australia.
Small point I know, but in journalism we should all strive to get it right. Even at Sky News.
As for Chris Willis, it’s an interesting appointment. He’s someone who has no experience of news channels, neither does the new CEO. Perhaps that’s a good thing, we shall see.
What is true is that Chris, while at Seven was no friend of Sky News. I’m sure Chris’ attitude to Sky has changed now that he’s on the payroll.
I am sure Chris will do a great job!
All the best to Sky News
