Ben Jhoty has been promoted as editor-in-chief of Men’s Health Australia, taking over from the outgoing Scott Henderson.
News of the promotion, announced by publishing houses Paragon Media and Hearst, will see Jhoty move up from deputy editor, a role he has held since 2019, effective immediately.
Jhoty said: “I am delighted to take over as editor-in-chief and am really looking forward to sinking my teeth into the role.
“As someone who started at Men’s Health back in my twenties and have worked my way up, I know the brand inside out and am so grateful for the opportunity to take the helm as we enter an exciting period of growth.
“Outgoing editor Scott Henderson has left an extremely solid foundation for me, and I am keen to continue the work he started in increasing MH’s audience footprint across our print, digital and social platforms while making the brand a more open and inclusive forum for discussion of men’s physical and mental health, as well as social issues,” Jhoty said.

“Paragon is committed to helping Men’s Health grow and succeed and we have a fantastic opportunity to cement our status as Australia’s no.1 men’s lifestyle brand.
“As a multi-faceted, 360-degree offering boasting a unique combination of brand heritage, editorial excellence and commercial savvy, Men’s Health is an unparalleled destination for PR and advertising partners looking to make a splash in the men’s lifestyle space,” the newly appoint editor-in-chief added.
As part of a team restructure, former associate editor Dan Williams has been appointed deputy editor, while Henderson will remain attached to the brand as fitness editor.
