Network18 elevates Brajesh Kumar Singh as Editor, Group Integration and Convergence
In his new role, Singh will work closely with the editorial leadership across the network
Brajesh Kumar Singh, currently the Managing Editor for Bihar, Jharkhand and Gujarat Channels at Network 18 has been elevated to Editor for Group Integration and Convergence.
In his new role he will work closely with the editorial leadership across the network.
Santosh Menon, Chief Content Officer, Network 18, in an internal communication, which e4m has a copy of wrote, “The time has come to move away from incremental to exponential and create a truly integrated newsroom that is less organised around platforms and keeps the story at the centre. We are embarking on a big transformation of our operations, which over the next 15 months will alter the way we work, bring all arms of the network even closer and culminate in the creation of a new, state-of-the-art nimble newsroom in Noida that can quickly adapt to changes continuously reshaping the media landscape.”
“This is a complex exercise and we have constituted an interdisciplinary team with representatives from multiple departments to work on this project. Brajesh will work very closely with Rahul and I for this project and report to me. Editors of the Bihar/Jharkhand and Gujarat channels will now report to Group Editor (Regional) Rajesh Raina”, he added.
“I look forward to working with you all over again in what is, for me, the biggest project since I joined this company”, added Rahul Joshi, MD and Group Editor-in-Chief of Network18.
