Junkee axes Punkee editor role in restructure

August 19, 2025 9:42

Gen Z-focused publication Punkee will no longer have a dedicated editorial head after a restructure that has seen the exit of editor Katie Stow.

In a statement to Mumbrella, Junkee Media editor-in-chief Alice Griffin said the operational decision was about having Junkee and Punkee sit closer together.

Punkee’s editor Stow led the social-first online publication from August 2023. She has now departed the business and announced she’s found a new role as social media manager for Temple and Webster.

Griffin told Mumbrella no other roles were impacted.
