News Corp has shaken up its executive team, appointing Fairfax Media’s consumer marketing director Vicki Aristidopoulos to the new role of group director, real estate and home.
Other changes to the executive team has seen News Corp’s director of national sales Sharb Farjami promoted to the new role of chief commercial officer – network sales, and the addition of CEO of The Australian Nicholas Gray to sit on the company’s executive team.
Aristidopoulos joins News Corp, which publishes newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph, The Australian and The Herald Sun, after three years with Fairfax Media.

What is that realestate job – running the REA marketing from Sydney ? Interesting choice for a subscriptions background. Newscorp have been smashed by Fairfax’s Domain in the last 18 months.
So is she running all of these Home titles or just marketing them? Many of the titles mentioned here sit in News LifeMedia division – does this mean they split out?
Well done Vicki!
Is that reporting to News Life Media? Or REA? Or Telegraph?
Congratulations Vicki!
‘Newscorp have been smashed by Fairfax’s Domain in the last 18 months’….erm, not on planet earth they haven’t. Rather the other way round, just look at Canberra and how Domain has lost nearly all its print advertising to an REA initiative via a third party journal. Just talk to real estate agents to see where their internet enquiry comes from….it begins with R not D
Lord Boris. Me thinks you protest too much. Why do you think Pete T has accepted this made up ‘real estate’ job pitched to him? Really shows how behind news are in their thinking.
Lord Boris, is that actually u Lord Murdoch?
