New Delhi: Network18 has made key changes in its editorial leadership, with Karthik Subbaraman being tapped as managing editor of the network’s digital news operations and Vivek Narayan stepping into Subbaraman’s shoes.

While Subbaraman has been given a new role at the network, Narayan has been appointed. The latter was last serving as the executive editor and head of output at Times Now.

Both Subbaraman and Narayan will report to Santosh Menon, the network’s chief content officer. The announcements come amid an incremental growth of the network’s audience base and market dynamics.

Narayan will oversee news channels in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. He started his career as a reporter at Network Television in Thiruvananthapuram in 1994 before moving on to stints at Asia Pacific communication and Eenadu TV in New Delhi. He then worked at the TV Today Network in Delhi and Kerala for five years, until 2005.

Subbaraman has been with the network for nearly four years as the editor overseeing three southern channels. A consummate news hound, Subbaraman has expertise across genres spanning general news, business, tech/start-ups and international relations. In his new role, he will supervise the editorial operations of all Network18’s digital properties, with the editors of News18 (English, Hindi and languages), Firstpost, Moneycontrol, cnbcv18.com and the central digital videos team reporting to him.
