Gereurd Roberts steps up to Famous publisher

Pacific Magazines has promoted Famous editor-in-chief Gereurd Roberts to publisher and started the search for a successor to edit the title.

Roberts became editor-in-chief three years ago, following a stint as deputy editor of NW magazine.

In the last set of Audit Burea Of Circulation data, Famous was the only weekly title to record an increase – with sales up 3% from 88,000 to just over 90,000.

Pacific Magazines CEO Nick Chan previously held the publishing reins for Famous.
