News Limited appoints Michelle d’Almeida MD of Sunday Times
News Limited has appointed the digital director of The Daily Telegraph, Michelle d’Almeida, as the new MD of the company’s Western Australian operations.
She will run The Sunday Times and perthnow.com.au and report to News’ MD of group newspapers and digital products Jerry Harris.
A replacement digital director on The Daily Telegraph has yet to be announced.
She starts in her new role on 6 February, based in Perth, her home town.
As Mumbrella enjoys the misfortunes of media outlets getting it wrong, I am curious on the reporting here. The statement from Jerry Harris clearly states Michelle will lead the Sunday Times, not the Sunday Telegraph, as stated in the headline and the article.
Fair point, Tabloid – thanks for flagging it up,
As is clear from the copy, the author was clear on the information but had a brainstorm when updating the headline later on (initially was the accurate “head of WA operations”). For a time, as you correctly state, it read Sunday telegraph instead of Sunday Times, now amended.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
