appointments at Herald on
Sunday
The Herald on
Sunday, the best read Sunday newspaper in the North
Island, is pleased to announce the appointment of two new
Editors.
Edward Rooney has been appointed News Editor
of the Herald on Sunday. Previously Editor of APN’s
weekly community newspaper The Aucklander, Edward has
now moved to a leadership position at the Herald on
Sunday.
During his time at The Aucklander, the newspaper won a Qantas Media Award for best community paper in 2008 and 2009. At the Qantas Media Awards 2010 Community Newspaper Awards 2010, Edward was named Senior Journalist of the Year for newspapers (40,000 circulation and over).
Edward has also worked for the Sunday Star-Times, The Dominion Post and Truth, and had a long stint as Editor of the Central Leader and Auckland City Harbour News. He has also been Chief Reporter at the North Shore Times.
Bryce Johns, Editor,
Herald on Sunday, highlighted Edward’s experience
and commitment to training young journalists as a key factor
in his selection. “The Herald on Sunday’s team of
young, up-and-coming go getters will benefit from the
guidance Edward can bring to maintaining the standard of
the paper’s stories and breaking news.”
Edward
takes up the position of News Editor on August 30.
The News Editor appointment comes a couple of months
after Estelle Sarney, selected from the team at sister
publication The New Zealand Herald, took up the reins
as Assistant Editor at the Herald on
Sunday.
Over the last year as Acting Features
Editor at the Herald, Estelle launched Weekend
magazine - one of the recent success stories for the
newspaper. Previously, Estelle held the position of Editor
of SundayHomes and HeraldHomes which she
re-launched at the start of her time there. A very
experienced journalist, Estelle has a 26-year career
spanning newspapers, magazines and television both in New
Zealand and internationally. She won a Qantas Media Award
for her investigative stories at The Listener.
Estelle’s first success at Herald on Sunday has
been the launch of Living, the new magazine that
reflects what Kiwis love doing on Sundays.
Bryce
Johns, editor, Herald on Sunday, said “Estelle is a
fantastic addition to our team – her experience in
launching and developing new publications has already been
invaluable for
Living.”
