Information, publisher of Money
magazine, is delighted to announce Julia Newbould has been appointed managing editor of Money magazine.
Julia was the magazine’s editor at large since
December 2019.
Julia
has more than 20 years’ finance journalism experience and was previously editor
of Financial Planning and Super Review magazines at Reed Business Information;
managing editor at InvestorInfo and managing editor at Morningstar Australia.
Her
most recent role was at BT Financial Group in marketing and communications
where she founded the Stella Network, a network group for women in financial
advice.
“I believe passionately in helping those who
are keen to help themselves. We’re not all born equal and do not have the same
opportunities in life, but through education we can make up for some of the
initial inequalities.”
The Money team now comprises
digital editor Sharyn McCowen and senior journalist David Thornton as well as
its strong stable of contributors.
Michelle
Baltazar, editor-in-chief
Money magazine, says: “I’m happy to announce Julia as the new
managing editor of our flagship consumer title. Her passion for helping people
with better managing their finances has been well demonstrated.”
“Julia has a long career in financial media and last
year published her first book The Joy of Money, co-authored with
financial adviser Kate McCallum,” said Baltazar.
The Joy of Money won the
Best Personal Finance and Investment book at the Australian Business Book
Awards in 2020. It was also a runner up in the Health and Wellbeing category.
Julia says she is thrilled to be taking the reins of
this prestigious title and working with the talented team of writers that
include Paul Clitheroe, Susan Hely, Annette Sampson, Vita Palestrant, David
Thornton and Pam Walkley as well as the wonderful wealth management
professionals.
Research has shown 50% of Australians carry some
anxiety about their finances, but with financial education and knowledge this
reduces. Money takes pride in
being able to relieve some of the anxiety people feel.
Last year, the Money team focused on helping
people understand their position on super, debt and unemployment and bounce
back from setbacks as we all faced Covid issues.
“The magazine remains loyal to its original purpose to
help everyday Australians better take care of their financial futures through
understanding financial planning principles and investments,” Newbould says.
“Everyone who wants to know more about money to help
them create the life they want should be able to access the information they
need to make informed choices.
“We are in a privileged position to be able to help
them find this information.”
