Mediaweek head of content and editor depart, new editorial head appointed

Mediaweek’s head of content Frances Sheen and editor Dan Barrett are out the door after short tenures with the trade publication, as owner Vinyl Group works to hit its break even target by the end of the year.

This morning (22 October), Mediaweek announced the appointment of Seven Spotlight producer Duane Hatherly as head of editorial to replace Sheen (although with a different job title).

Hatherly comes from the TV production world, with almost 20 years at Foxtel and more recently stints at the ABC and Seven.
