Yahoo7 appoints Ninemsn network editor Simon Black as head of news for digital publisher
Yahoo7 has appointed Ninemsn’s network editor Simon Black as its head of news replacing editor-in-chief Michael Wade.
Black has been network editor of Ninemsn for the last five months and was previously news editor of the Mi9 news site.
Caroline Casey, Yahoo7 product and audience director said: “Simon has fantastic experience across a range of media, and is a great fit for our business as we continue to expand our products and capabilities.”
Black was previously a reporter and homepage editor for the Daily Telegraph and has also worked as night editor of News.com.au.
Wade had been in the role for the last two and half years.
Yahoo7 is also currently looking for a new head of editorial after the departure of Annie Markey who moved to Mamamia last month.
