Avusa Media appoints new editors for the Eastern Cape
Avusa Media has appointed new editors in the Eastern Cape. Jeremy McCabe, currently acting Editor-in-Chief of The Herald and Weekend Post, has been appointed Editor of the Saturday title, the Weekend Post. McCabe will also assume editorship of Avusa Media’s community newspapers in the Eastern Cape.
In addition to these responsibilities, McCabe will be responsible for running a newly created production hub, which serves all Avusa Media's Eastern Cape titles, including the Daily Dispatch and Saturday Dispatch in East London. He will also spearhead the creation of an Avusa-wide production hub located in Port Elizabeth.
Sunday Times Deputy Editor, Heather Robertson, will take over the editorship of The Herald. Robertson, who has been with the Sunday Times for over 10 years, has served in various capacities including senior writer; KwaZulu-Natal bureau chief; and national news editor. In her capacity as deputy editor she oversaw the launch of the Sunday Times Zimbabwe edition, which has seen the Sunday Times’s circulation soar in that country in the past four months.
Current acting editor of The Herald, Charmain Naidoo, will move to Johannesburg to run the newly created Avusa Media News Service. As Editor, Naidoo will be responsible for running an integrated news operation for Avusa Media titles, aimed at building a strong national footprint for the newspapers.
All three editors will report to Avusa Media editor-in-chief, Mondli Makhanya. “These appointments are aimed at cementing Avusa Media’s position as a superior provider of quality content and agenda-setting news in South Africa,” he says.
