Ed Waller

Ed Waller has been promoted to editorial director of C21 Media, joining the board with a mission to extend the company’s lead in delivering daily news and analysis to the international entertainment community.

Making the announcement, David Jenkinson, editor-in-chief and MD, said: “When Ed joined C21 the website had just a few hundred users. During the past six years he has been an integral part of the company’s growth and his commitment to ensuring the highest quality editorial has been relentless.

“As C21 develops, his stewardship of the content across our web and print products will ensure we continue to be a must-read publisher. There are very few journalists who are able to preside over C21’s editorial future. On behalf of the rest of the board I’m delighted Ed has chosen to step into the role and look forward to working with him to develop a raft of new initiatives in the years to come.”

Waller added: “The past six years have seen an enormous growth in online news and for the international TV community C21 has led the charge. Our magazines have also seen off the challenges and are now thriving, respected titles. I look forward to taking C21 into other areas and other challenges.”
