Editor of New Idea Frances Sheen resigns to focus on family

Pacific Magazines is looking to replace the editor of its weekly celebrity title New Idea with Frances Sheen departing the magazine for family reasons.

Sheen took over as editor in 2016

If possible, Sheen will remain with the title until June, and then continue her relationship with Pac Mags in a freelance capacity. 

General manager of entertainment and family at Pac Mags, Louisa Hatfield will step in to fill the editing responsibilities if it is required at short notice. Before moving into the general manager’s role, Hatfield was New Idea’s editor-in-chief.
