CHANGES AT MEDIA24
ESMARÉ WEIDEMAN – editor-in-chief of You, Huisgenoot and Drum – is moving from Media24 Weekly Magazines division to take up the job as CEO of Media24. Widely credited with turning around the fortunes of Huisgenoot and introducing supplements that have become successful enough to stand on their own, she replaces Francois Groepe, who has been at the helm since 2006.
Groepe resigned his post so he can pursue the buyout of school book publishers Via Afrika Education, which is part of the publishing group. He says he’s swapping his current responsibilities to be a social entrepreneur.
Izelle Venter – publisher of You, Huisgenoot, Drum and heat – will be acting editor-in-chief until a permanent appointment is made.
