Chamberlain has been with Nine for almost 12 years, taking on the responsibilities of running the editorial team at the end of May following the departure of editor-in-chief Hal Crawford. However, Crawford’s responsibilities around product development and commercial partnership were taken up by others at Nine.

Alex Parsons, Nine chief digital and marketing officer, said: “I want to take this opportunity to thank Emma for the significant contribution to the business she has made over the years and our most recent audience figures, which showed we have cemented our place as third largest commercial news website in Australia. These are a testament to her leadership.”

During her time with Nine, Chamberlain led the launch a number of new verticals including 9Coach, 9Pickle, 9Elsewhere, 9Honey and 9Kitchen.

Nine rebranded its digital news offering Ninemsn to Nine.com.au from June and in July Nine named former Australian Women’s Weekly editor-in-chief Helen McCabe as head of lifestyle.
