Whittaker returns to Crikey as publisher after two years away from masthead

Jason Whittaker, managing editor of The Mandarin, is returning to fellow Private Media masthead Crikey after being appointed publisher.

Whittaker, who was deputy editor of Crikey from 2010 to 2012 and was editor from 2012 until April 2014, will be responsible for editorial, subscriptions and other commercial activity.

“”We’ve always thought the Crikey model had a lot of potential beyond subscriptions. It’s obviously a subscriptions business primarily, that will remain the case and we have a lot of ideas how we can grow that subscriptions base,” said Whittaker.
