Well who would have thought that the previous two items would be related?  Greg Shand, formerly of BBG, has been appointed to the Mediaworks Public Affairs role and already has his feet under the desk  - with some big challenges to address.   We still await news of the TVNZ appointment.  Meanwhile, over at SKY TV, long time Director of Communications Tony O'Brien has stood back from the communications aspects of the business to focus entirely on Government Relations, facilitating the internal appointment of former head of the DVD business Kirsty Way into the role of Head of Corporate Communications.
