SINGAPORE – Chinese news daily Lianhe Zaobao will see a change in editorial leadership from May 5, as current editor Goh Sin Teck will retire after 14 years in the role and pass the baton to Ms Ang Yiting.
Ms Ang, 45, is currently an associate editor at the publication, and has more than 20 years of journalism experience spanning Channel U News, Lianhe Wanbao, My Paper and Lianhe Zaobao as an SPH scholarship holder.
On her appointment, she said: “From signing my scholarship bond at 18 to assuming this responsibility today with a full awareness of its weight, I feel both humbled and apprehensive, yet determined not to disappoint the trust placed in me.
“From (Lianhe Zaobao’s) beginnings as a newspaper to its evolution into a multi-platform, multimedia presence that extends far beyond print, my colleagues and I are deeply privileged to stand on the solid foundations built by generations of editors and journalists before us. In a complex and rapidly changing world, we take up this baton with a commitment to walk alongside our audience, ensuring that they continue to find value and meaning in reading, watching, listening to and engaging with Zaobao.”
Mr Goh, 63, who has served as editor since Aug 1, 2011, will assume the role of senior editorial adviser to Lianhe Zaobao after stepping down.
