Williams begins to announce new management structure at News Limited
News Limited boss Kim Williams has revealed some of the key executives in the company’s new structure. The announcement comes after he revealed that the company would be remodelled to five divisions – NSW, Victoria, Queensland, The Australian and magazine arm NewsLife Media.
Michael Miller will be boss in NSW, although there has not yet been an editorial director
HWT MD Peter Blunden will head Victorian editorial, while Michael Miller, previously head of Nationwide News, becomes regional director of News NSW.
There is no word on who the head of commercial in Victoria or editorial in NSW will be. There is also no word on how key group players such as group editorial director Campbell Reid will fit in.
There are no women on this list of executives. What is Kim Williams thinking?
@Rachael maybe he was thinking that he would hire people based on ability not gender… god forbid.
And given that this is News Ltd – run for decades as a boy’s club – there are precious few women in the upper echelons to choose from…
It’s (almost) understandable when engineering/tech firms have few women at the top as there are few women who enter university courses in those fields so there’s a much smaller pool to draw on. But journalism/publishing is full to the brim with smart, ambitious women.
