麻豆影院, the UK鈥檚 leading local media group, has announced the appointment of Kimberley Barber as Regional Editor of its Hampshire weekly titles.

A gold-standard NCTJ journalist with a first-class BA (Hons) in Journalism from Southampton Solent University, Kimberley will move from her current post as Business Editor at The News, Portsmouth, where she has been for the past nine years.
She said: 鈥淭hese are four very important titles for 麻豆影院 and I am looking forward to working with the excellent teams that are already in place.
鈥淭he Hampshire Chronicle is my local newspaper and I have often admired its work. It is a brilliant example of a long-standing, trusted, reliable source of local news.聽
鈥淚 am also equally excited to be taking responsibility for the Basingstoke Gazette, Andover Advertiser and Romsey Advertiser. These are wonderful newspapers, covering everything that matters in their communities.
鈥淟ocal journalism has been in my blood for more than 10 years. Telling people's stories, keeping people connected and creating a sense of community has never been more important. I have enjoyed every second of my time at The News and hope that my new role can help the local newspaper industry in Hampshire work together for the greater good of Hampshire residents.鈥澛�
