The Sunday Times announces two new appointments

Martin Hemming has been appointed Editor of The Sunday Times Magazine, while Emily Kent Smith is named Associate Editor of The Sunday Times. 

Martin has been the Editor of News Review for the last three years, where his team's content was routinely among the best read in the edition every week. He replaces Krissi Murison, who became Deputy Editor of The Sunday Times in January.

In addition, Emily Kent Smith has been appointed Associate Editor of The Sunday Times, having previously been Deputy News Editor. She has been tasked with seeking out new audiences and rethinking the way stories are told across the digital edition.

In an internal note to staff, Ben Taylor, Editor of The Sunday Times, said: "I am delighted to announce these two promotions. Martin understands the challenges of new digital audiences and I want him to bring those creative skills to bear on the wonderful material that is already produced by the magazine's superb staff every week.

"Emily will work across the edition and bring as much of our content in every section to as many subscribers as possible, while bringing  new ideas and expertise into the newsroom."
