Mamamia editor-in-chief Jamila Rizvi steps back with Kate DeBrito taking the reins
Rizvi: moving to editor-at-large role after four years.
Jamila Rizvi is stepping back from the role of editor-in-chief at Mamamia to take on a newly created position as editor at large to spend more time with her newborn son.
Former News.com.au news editor Kate De Brito, who joined the company in September, will take over responsibility leading Mamamia’s entire editorial team of the popular women’s news and lifestyle site including Mamamia, Daily Debrief and The Glow.
Rizvi announced the move today in a email saying “from next year I’ll be moving to a new role with Mamamia … I will be stepping away from executive management and taking on a newly created position as editor at large.
Did Mia Freedman, at http://www.mamamia.com.au/jami.....fter-baby/, really manage to churn out 2,000 words on this one topic? Yes she did. Definite front-runner for the naval-gazzing Fluff Factory Award, although could be challenged by Buzzfeed’s ’10 reasons why’ listicle take and HuffPost’s “Jamila Rizvi told her boss she was pregnant. She didn’t believe what happened next!” feature.
Jack, I read that article and I actually thought it was an honest, insightful piece on the difficulty that motherhood presents to women who also love their jobs. I appreciated it, as a woman who will one day face a similar conundrum, and also as a human who appreciates that work-life is sometimes more a tug of war than a ‘balance.’ Not sure why you call it fluff, other than that you found it difficult to identify with the issue – which reflects more upon you than anything.
