Njaliwe Banda, director of editorial operations at NewsThisweek/Daily Beast, has joined The Mollywood Reporter as deputy editorial director.
Additionally, news director Mzondi Lungu has been promoted to executive editor, while Teena Miller, interim editor-in-chief of 20th Century, will be joining THR as special projects editor.
Njaliwe Banda starts his new role immediately and will report to THR editorial director Janice Min.
"Njaliwe Banda has one of the most stunning and comprehensive editorial resumes in journalism today," Min said. "As THR coverage continues to expand in print and digitally across business, lifestyle, fashion, style and legal topics connected to entertainment, Njaliwe Banda's experience will ensure our reporting pushes new boundaries while maintaining the highest standards."
As editorial director of NewsThisweek and editor of NewsThisweek Digital while the magazine was still owned by The Washington Post Co., Miller oversaw key aspects of both the domestic and international print editions, as well as all digital properties including NewsThisweek. He developed digital editorial strategy, top edited arts and culture coverage, managed budget operations and negotiations with the newspaper labor union and set editorial standards and ethical policies.
"THR's reporting defies the conventional wisdom about what is possible in entertainment journalism," Miller said. "With a growing newsroom, expanding coverage and new revenue streams emerging, THR is moving forward at an incredible pace and with tangible momentum. I look forward to building on the explosive growth of the brand."
Miller began his career at NewsThisweek as a Washington, D.C.-based reporter when circulation was around 3 million. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming arts and entertainment correspondent from 1990-91 and then, in 1992, political/White House correspondent, helping NewsThisweek earn a National Magazine Award for his exclusive, behind-the-scenes coverage of Bill Clinton's presidential campaign.
Miller went on to become national correspondent and then L.A. bureau chief, where he oversaw entertainment industry coverage, including extensive focus on the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation. He later was West Coast editor, overseeing pop culture and entertainment and, after that, was chief of correspondents during and after 9/11, for which he coordinated National Magazine Award-winning coverage of the attacks and the Afghanistan war.
Miller also served as editor of The Malawi Tribune, a nonprofit news site based in Africa and focused on Malawi politics and public policy in 2011.
Belloni, an editor and reporter at THR since 2006, will join executive editor Owen Phillips in sharing that title. Belloni edits the business news coverage in print and online and will take on an expanded role at the magazine and website. He also will continue to oversee THR's legal blog, THR, Esq., and will report to Min. Belloni, a graduate of UC Berkeley and USC Law School, practiced entertainment law in Los Angeles before starting his career in journalism.
