By owenamos

Jessica Geen has been appointed new editor of gay news website pinknews.co.uk.

Geen, who joins from online news agency Adfero, replaces Tony Grew, who is joining a new parliament-reporting website, ispystrangers.org.

Geen said: “I’m really pleased to be starting at pinknews.co.uk and am looking forward to expanding and developing the site.

‘We’re currently the biggest gay news provider in Europe and I hope to keep up the tradition of respected and widely-read journalism established by Tony. I wish him all the best with his new website.”

Grew said: ‘It has been a great honour to edit pinknews.co.uk. The site has increased its readership and its reputation in the past two years, something I am very proud of.

‘I would like to thank publisher Ben Cohen for the opportunity and all those who worked with me to make pinknews.co.uk the success it is today.
