New post created by Johnston Press

A former managing director of Express Newspapers has been appointed to a newly-created post of Group Managing Director – Publishing, with Johnston Press.

The appointment of Nicholas Rudd-Jones, (40), follows a rapid expansion of Johnston’s traditional publishing and new media activities. In May last year, it acquired Portsmouth & Sunderland newspapers for £266 million and earlier this year pledged to invest £10 million in an “ultra local” new media strategy.
