Q&A with evolution media’s Vanessa Stoykov

In a piece that first appeared in Encore, evolution media group CEO Vanessa Stoykov reveals her media guilty pleasures.

Who is the most powerful person in Australian media and why?

Adrian Swift, director of development at the Nine network. Look at The Voice. It’s a very positive show. I like that. And I like what Adrian Swift does for celebrity. It was good to hear Joel Madden thank him at the Logies. Adrian Swift picks positive people for the judging roles on The Voice, but not necessarily the obvious people: Ricky Martin wasn’t the celebrity of the moment, but he is now.

What one medium could you not live without?
