“I would like to thank all the applicants who expressed interest in the position, I was overwhelmed by the calibre of the candidates.

On her snazzy new role, Wilson added, “I’m honoured and excited to be stepping into the shoes of so many great editors before me.

“I can’t wait to join such a well-respected team, roll up my sleeves and deliver great stories for our readers. The Australian Women’s Weekly holds a special place in the hearts of Australian women, I hope to do them proud.”
