Worner said: “We are very fortunate to have Maryna available to step straight into this role and continue to evolve the business. She has already had a huge impact since joining us in April last year, and we are looking forward to that continuing impact.

“Adam is one of the most experienced and accomplished newspaper executives in the country and has a very long track record of out-performance and innovation when it comes to circulation and distribution. He has also been outstanding in challenging convention to bring about efficiencies. This role will see him use all those qualities across our entire WA business.”

“Today our portfolio of multi-media brands dominates the local market, delivering for our audiences and advertisers on a scale that no-one else comes close to. We have exciting plans for our WA businesses, which Maryna and Adam are perfectly placed to deliver.”
