Weird that there’s no mention in this piece of Ceri David, the editor of 3 years (more?) who was so successful for GQ, and left a few months back…
Congrats Matt, well deserved!
I thought the Editor of GQ in Australia was a woman? I remember reading an interview with her on this site when the first digital edition came out… https://mumbrella.com.au/kylie-cover-gq-australias-first-digital-edition-210681
Very strange she’s not mentioned here as a driving force over the last few years at least.
Don’t think it’s weird at all that Ceri isn’t mentioned. This is a story about new and current staff – she left months ago. How is she relevant to this story?
