With the start of the new year, we take a look back at the top 25 media personalities who stood out in the Australian media landscape in 2015.
NICOLE SHEFFIELD
CEO, NewsLifeMedia
The drivers of the division are the burgeoning digital properties with longtime #1 news site news.com.au at the core. Sheffield added to the digital portfolio this year with the launch of Buro247.com.au and the acquisition of Primped.com.au, a site owned by the Hannan family’s IDM and launched by former beauty editor Zoe Foster Blake. The specialist magazines in the group – from Vogue Australia to Taste.com.au – are weathering the print downturn better than many. Key appointments from Sheffield during 2015 included arrival of Robin Parkes as COO and promotions of Prue Cox to chief commercial officer and Julian Delany to chief digital officer.
