Kate Cox has become the struggling Sun-Herald’s third editor in three years as part of Fairfax Metro’s widespread restructure of its Nsw operation.
Cox has become editor of the Sunday tabloid after it recorded some of the biggest percentage circulation drops in Australian newspaper history since relaunching in March.
Editor Rick Feneley will become “senior writer across all platforms” after about 18 months at the helm. He replaced Simon Delhunty, who led the Sun-Herald’s previous relaunch.
Cox’s promotion comes less than a year after being appointed to edit Sunday Life.
Both News Limited and Fairfax have moved to restructure their staff with single editorial teams across weekday and weekend newspapers and across both print and online. News has labelled its position “one city one newsroom”.
The Fairfax appointments are the latest since the departure of the Sydney Morning Herald’s publisher and editor Peter Fray and Amanda Wilson.

The new editor-in-chief of The Age is Andrew Holden, who currently edits Fairfax’s Nz title The Press.
Holden previously worked at The Age before moving to Nz a decade ago.
His appointment follows yesterday’s resignation of Paul Ramadge.
Among the challenges faced during Holden’s editorship of The Press was the Christchurch Earthquake.
Paul Thompson, group executive director of Fairfax Media in Nz said: “Andrew’s calm and inspirational leadership during and after the Canterbury Earthquakes skilfully steered his paper, website and staff through highly challenging times.”
Mr Holden will take up his new role full time in September. For the next two months he will split his time between Christchurch and Melbourne.
Steve Foley has been named as news director.
