Key Media publisher: no jobs will be lost
Following a deal to buy two of its magazines from Lexis Nexis revealed yesterday, no jobs will be lost as a result of the addition of another HR title to the fold at Key Media, the company’s publishing director Justin Kennedy has said.
“We have a large HR vertical, now with HR Leader as well as Human Capital. We’re looking to grow that. And we’re bringing all staff across,” he said.
HR Leader and Risk magazines share an editor – Sarah O’Carroll – and journalist, Ben Nice. Paul Desmond handles sales for HR Leader. Sales for Risk were outsourced through sales agency AGS media in Adelaide.
The main competition for the two titles is HR Monthly, which is published by the Hardie Grant Magazines for the Australian Human Resources Institute.
Kennedy would not comment further on the company’s strategy for the two titles.
