The announcement:

Fairfax Regional Media has appointed an experienced metropolitan colleague to lead its new, multi-platform sales structure.

CEO Allan Browne has announced Rodney House as Director, Local Media Sales, Fairfax Regional Media.

“To secure the current PANPA Advertising Manager of the Year and someone with such a depth of experience in multi-media platforms across The Age and Sydney Morning Herald is enormously exciting for us.
