Arts Professional confirms editorial team

RUTH HOGARTH steps up as the new Editor of Arts Professional, having served as Commissioning Editor since January this year. Previously she spent 20 years at the BBC World Service as a current affairs producer, presenter and editor.

Ruth then made the move to academia, first at Queen Mary University of London, where she managed AHRC research programmes, and then at King’s College London as Director of Cultural Partnerships until 2018.

Her early career was as a theatre Company and Stage Manager. She is a trustee at Artichoke and at the British American Drama Academy.

ADELE REDMOND, who joined Arts Professional in 2019 as News Journalist before taking on the role of News Editor in 2020, is promoted to Deputy Editor.

Before joining ArtsPro, Adele was a reporter for New Zealand-based newspapers The Press and Nelson Mail. In her new role, as well as leading on news coverage, Adele will play a pivotal role in developing ArtsProfessional’s content.

PATRICK JOWETT joined Arts Professional as a Trainee Journalist in 2021 from Resource Magazine and Green World. He now joins ArtsPro as a permanent member of the team with promotion to Journalist. Last year, he was awarded a Masters degree in Investigative Journalism from the University of Gothenburg.

Editor Ruth Hogarth said: “Our readers and subscribers know that this is a very uncertain time for arts and culture. The importance of reliable, thorough journalism cannot be understated, and ArtsPro remains as committed as always to providing an independent take on what’s happening in our sector.”
