Paul Murphy, director of media for the union representing journalists, actors and musicians, has been promoted to the newly created role of CEO of the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance (MEAA), Mumbrella can reveal.

Murphy’s appointment comes after the decision earlier this year of veteran MEAA federal secretary Chris Warren to step down after more than two decades in the role, with the union voting to move to a CEO model of leadership.

“I’m really excited and incredibly honoured. I have been a member of MEAA for more than 20 years — it is my union — so the opportunity to lead it is a tremendous honour,” Murphy told Mumbrella this morning.
