Nine has appointed Tory Maguire managing director - publishing, assuming responsibility for assets including metro mastheads and The Australian Financial Review.
Maguire has been overseeing The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAToday since being appointed executive editor in July 2021.
A process is underway to appoint a new executive editor.
Maguire, who has previously held senior editorial roles at News Corp and The Huffington Post as well as national editor at Nine’s metro mastheads, replaces James Chessell who recently announced he was stepping down.
Mike Sneesby, CEO of Nine, says Maguire is a great executive, who has overseen renewal in the company's metro mastheads.
"And she has made some tough and brave calls about public interest journalism. We welcome her to this role and look forward to her contribution to the success of our business,” says Sneesby.
Maguire says the past two years running the metro mastheads has been the highlight of her career and given her a close up view of the extraordinary work that goes into producing Australia’s best journalism.
"The opportunity to throw myself into growing the business behind that journalism is thrilling. Our mastheads are a vital player in Australian society as well as a thriving commercial operation and I am very optimistic about their future," she says.
