Natmag-Rodale resturctures editorial roles

Natmag-Rodale has appointed Morgan Rees, editor of Men’s Health, to the role of editorial director across the publisher’s portfolio of titles.

Natmag-Rodale, a joint venture between The National Magazine Company and Rodale, has also appointed Alun Williams to the new role of group publishing director as part of its ongoing restructure.

Williams will have commercial responsibility for Men’s Health, as well as Runner’s World and Triathlete’s World.

Andy Dixon, editor of Triathlete’s World, and Alison Hamlett, editor of Runner’s World, will remain in their current positions.

The restructure also sees publishing director of Runner’s World and Triathete’s World Steve Seaton become the publishing director of a new group running across Zest and Netdoctor.co.uk.

Over the past ten years, Men’s Health‘s circulation has suffered some dips but is currently on the up, according to the latest ABC data (see ABC Results Jul-Dec 2008:Shortlist shows staying power in men’s lifestyle sector).
