Senior content editor David Powles (top) has been appointed to the new role of digital publisher for Archant Norfolk.
Powles began his career as a reporter for the Lancashire Evening Post and was chief reporter at the Burton Mail before joining Archant in 2006 as a reporter for the Norwich Evening News.
He worked as a news editor for the Evening News before gaining promotion to his current role of senior content editor for the Eastern Daily Press, Norwich Evening News and weekly titles.
Powles said: “An increasing number of people are turning to our many digital platforms to find out what is happening in their communities and we intend to provide them with unique, fresh, engaging and interactive content that encourages them to keep on coming back for more.”
Richard Avery, digital director for Archant Anglia, said: “David's promotion to this new role is built on his excellent record within the Norwich news team. The digital publisher will grow the digital brands within Norfolk, building a distinct voice for the digital content and putting the community at the heart of our digital offerings, providing engagement and participation.
“David’s knowledge and experience of our print products along with his enthusiasm and passion for digital make him ideal for this challenging role and I very much look forward to working with him.”
Powles will take up his new position in July.
