WELCOME to Media Movers, reporting the latest moves within the Scottish media, including promotions and retirements.
AND firstly, congratulations to Matthew Ball and Kathleen Morgan: both appointed by the Glasgow office of Think, which specialises in producing magazines for member organisations.
Think – which was founded in London and has been operating in Scotland for seven years – has taken on Ball as group art director and Morgan as editor.
Ball is an award-winning magazines designer, who previously worked freelance. Morgan, a former editor of The Herald Magazine, will join Think in the middle of next month, as her employment as senior journalism lecturer at Glasgow Clyde College draws to an end.

CONGRATULATIONS too to Susan Dean, on her appointment as communications/information officer at The City of Edinburgh Council. The former head of communications at Scottish Drugs Forum (where she was for ten years) will be providing corporate communication and ‘stakeholder engagement support’ to the council’s Health & Social care programme, on an one-year contract basis.
Susan worked in journalism for 19 years, including as staff reporter for The Scotsman in Glasgow and for The Press and Journal in Aberdeen before becoming the first civilian to be appointed to the then newly-created post of senior officer (media relations) with Strathclyde Police in 1995.
She has also worked as a press officer for the Scottish Executive (now the Scottish Government) and the former Greater Glasgow NHS board.

AND further congratulations are in order, for David McCann, who has been promoted to news editor at the Edinburgh Evening News, replacing Craig Jackson.
He was previously the City Council Reporter at the paper.

AND well done to Laura Redpath, due to graduate with a post-grad degree in journalism from the University of Strathclyde: she has been appointed digital journalist at The Press and Journal newspaper.
