BBC social media editor departs for Johnston Press
We were only talking to the BBC’s head of social media, Alex Gubbay, yesterday and today he has announced he’s quitting to join regional publisher Johnston Press.
Naturally enough, Gubbay, who commented on The Wall yesterday, announced his departure on Twitter.
Big and interesting job for Gubbay, who takes up his new role in June. He will help to shape a diverse group of newspapers that includes the Scotsman and the Yorkshire Post as well as weeklies such as including the Falkirk Herald.
Henry Faure Walker, digital and business development director, Johnston Press, said: “We are delighted to welcome Alex, one of the BBC’s most experienced interactive editors, to Johnston Press. He joins us at an exciting time as we look to develop further our digital content output both through our existing news websites but also through mobile and other emerging platforms.”
