Nine head of lifestyle Helen McCabe makes first hires for 9Honey

Nine is beefing up its lifestyle team, with Helen McCabe, the newly appointed head of lifestyle, tapping Grazia’s Damien Woolnough as consulting editor for 9Honey and News Corp’s Kelly Baker as beauty editor.

Woolnough joins the Nine team after four months working on the revival of Grazia as a digital-only publication. Prior to that Woolnough was signed on to be editor-in-chief of L’Officiel Australia; however, he quit after one month, saying the magazine was “not the right size and cut for me”.
