Jim Chisholm has been appointed director of the Scottish Newspaper Society in succession to Jim Raeburn, who is retiring.
Chisholm has enjoyed a long career as a newspaper analyst. At one time, he was commercial director at the Daily Record and Sunday Mail. According to his website, in the past decade he has produced "over 30 different studies covering the key strategic issues facing the media industry world-wide... in over 40 countries".
Chisholm, who lives in France, said of his appointment (which is part time): "Having been lucky enough to work with editors and publishers across the world, I retain a particular passion for the Scottish newspaper scene."
Raeburn will continue to act as secretary and treasurer to the Press Standards Board of Finance (PressBoF), the funding body for the Press Complaints Commission.
