Apple has reportedly hired seasoned media executive Liz Schimel for a key role at Apple News, which has become an increasingly powerful accelerant for digital publishers.
The Information, which first reported the move, said Schimel will report to Peter Stern, a former Time Warner Cable executive who oversees services in the news, video, books, advertising and iCloud realms. Her LinkedIn page lists her new title.
An Apple spokesman did not immediately respond to Deadline’s request for comment.
Schimel served as president of Condé Nast China, lists her title at Apple as “head of news business” on her LinkedIn page, which says she started in Cupertino in July. In addition to Condé Nast, she has also had stints at Comcast Ventures and as chief digital officer at media conglomerate Meredith, which several months ago closed its acquisition of Time Inc.
