Nine News has appointed Gareth Parker, currently Perth Director of News, to the newly created role of Network News Content Director.
Reporting to the 9Network’s Director of News and Current Affairs, Fiona Dear, this position will see Parker relocate to Sydney to oversee critical news coverage across Nine’s key platforms.
“The 9News Network desk is a critical piece of our transformation project in terms of delivering expert content for the entire network. Gareth has done an incredible job leading the team in Perth and significantly growing that audience and I can’t wait to see what he achieves with this new network project” said Dear.
Parker said, “We have grown audiences significantly over the past two years in Perth, and this is a testament to the hard work and commitment of the team, with more and more viewers trusting and turning to 9News.
“I can’t thank the entire Nine Perth team for their unwavering support and hard work in the service of our audiences and I look forward to getting stuck into this national role to maximise the reach and impact of our talented reporting teams right around the country.
“Thanks especially to Nine Perth Managing Director Clive Bingwa for his support, and to Fiona Dear for her faith in me.”
Michael Genovese will become interim Director of News in Perth.
“Having worked at Nine for over a decade this appointment is a privilege, and I’m eager to step in and continue to grow audiences and lead the team to continue to deliver Perth’s best news, from Today Perth in the morning, to our afternoon and flagship 6pm bulletins,” Genovese said.
“Gareth leaves big shoes to fill. He has done a tremendous job in Perth and we wish him all the best for his new Network appointment.”
