The Sydney Morning Herald has appointed Bevan Shields as editor. Recently, he served as the Sydney Morning Herald’s and The Age’s European correspondent. He has also served as federal editor and Canberra bureau chief for the mastheads.
Shields replaces Lisa Davies in his new role.
Shields began his career as a health reporter for the Illawarra Mercury in Australia.
Shields said:
“I am humbled, honored and hungry to lead the best newsroom in Australia. The new year gives the Herald a huge opportunity to reset and restate who we are and what we believe in, and rededicate ourselves to journalism that informs, challenges, entertains and surprises our wonderful readers and subscribers.
“Under the leadership of myself and deputy editor Cosima Marriner, the Herald will be bold, brave and think big.”
