Herald weekend newspapers editor Stuart Dye and daily editor David Rowe accepting the supreme award for Newspaper of the Year in May. Former Herald editor Murray Kirkness was promoted in June, with the new moniker of Chief Content Officer, Publishing. Staff pushed back over the removal of such roles for the Weekend Herald, Herald on Sunday, Canvas and other titles. At Stuff, the business was split into three entities – Stuff Digital, Stuff Masthead Publishing and Stuff Brand Connections – each with their own managing director working to build a new business model. Cherry's editor role was subsumed into a combined role editing The Post and the Sunday Star-Times and held by Tracy Watkins.
