According to PacMags, the reason for Sinclair’s departure is a move interstate. Sinclair is a former editor of New Idea and Woman’s Day.
In the most recent set of circulation audit numbers, Famous was the best performing of the weekly titles, with a circulation of 86,056 – a relatively small decline of 2.9 per cent on a year previously.
Gereurd Roberts, publisher of Famous said in today’s announcement: “Matt’s creativity, insight and drive will bring new opportunities for the Famous brand. We are thrilled for Matt to step-up to the role of editor as Famous continues to redefine the weekly magazine market.”
Frilingos said: “I look forward to what will be a hugely exciting phase for the magazine, and the great opportunities this role presents.”
The appointment is effective immediately.
