Johnston Press streamlines management structure
Johnston Press plc, one of the leading local media groups in the
UK, has today announced a number of organisational changes to
accelerate its strategy of growing engaged audiences to achieve
total revenue growth.
The leadership structure is being simplified to maximise
operational efficiencies across core functions - editorial and
sales - and shift focus away from existing geographic reporting
lines.
-- An Editor-in-Chief has been appointed to drive a co-ordinated
editorial strategy across the portfolio by championing innovation
and best practice
-- The Local Display, Features and Entertainments teams will be
consolidated into one to ensure rapid implementation of the sales
strategy, faster-to-market product launches and a simplified
product portfolio
-- Five regional MD roles have been removed to improve fast-track decision-making
-- Two Group Publishing Director positions have been created to
accelerate the delivery of the publishing strategy and identify new
revenue streams
Ashley Highfield, CEO of Johnston Press, said: "As we sharpen
our focus on overall revenue growth, these changes will ensure we
are very clear with our strategy and its execution. Re-organising
will mean we can act quicker and take new products to market in a
consistent and effective way.
"We've seen success with our digital products such as Sky
AdSmart, Digital Kitbag and 1XL and adopting this more unified
approach will allow us to innovate with even greater speed."
