Daniel Gumble has been appointed news editor of Music Week.
Gumble joins from NewBay’s market-leading musical instrument trade title, MI Pro, where he is currently editor. He starts at Music Week on Monday June 27.
In his new role, Gumble will lead Music Week’s news coverage across print, online and social media and will report to Music Week editor Mark Sutherland.
“Daniel will be a tremendous addition to the Music Week team,” Sutherland said. “With online traffic soaring after our website revamp, our weekly print edition setting the news agenda and some hugely exciting events and developments in the pipeline, these are great times for Music Week. Daniel’s news-gathering skills and native understanding of the digital world will ensure our coverage remains number one.”
Gumble has occupied a number of high-profile editorial positions within the music industry trade sector during his career to date. In 2011, he joined professional audio magazine Audio Pro International as staff writer, before becoming editor there in 2012. A year later, he took up the post of deputy editor at MI Pro, where he was promoted to editor after just 12 months. Gumble has also had his work published by Music Week, The Globe Theatre and award-winning film blog Cine-Vue.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be joining such a prestigious publication as Music Week,” said Gumble. “To be a part of this industry leading title is a fantastic opportunity and I cannot wait to start working with the team."
