| MEDIA MOVEMENTS — JUNE-SEPTEMBER 2010 |
Over the past four months journalists on the daily newspapers have been playing dominoes with the top positions, with news still to come of a change under way at Ashburton.
Since Lance Dodd left the Marlborough Express back in May, Steve Mason, ex-deputy editor of the Southland Times, has stepped into his shoes. The new deputy editor of the Southland Times is Mark Wilson.
In the North Island, Jonathan Mackenzie has traded in his editorship at the Taranaki Daily News and is now editor of the Waikato Times. In turn, Roy Pilott, former deputy editor of the Waikato Times, has moved to the Taranaki Daily News, as editor.
