TORONTO -- (Business Wire)

Postmedia is pleased to announce two editorial appointments – Adrienne Batra as Editor of the Toronto Sun and Keith Bonnell as Editor of the Ottawa Sun.

Ms. Batra returns to the Toronto Sun – she joined the newspaper in 2011 as Comment Editor and columnist before moving to the Sun News Network in November 2013 where she hosted a talk show and made regular appearances as a political commentator on Newstalk 1010. Adrienne is a well-known fierce and ruthlessly honest commentator on Toronto and its political leaders, through her regular appearances on radio, television and ongoing columns in the Sun.

“We’re absolutely delighted to have Adrienne back in the Sun family,” said James Wallace, Vice President Editorial, Suns. “Adrienne brings tremendous energy, political acumen and experience to our leadership team. She is a perfect fit for the Sun – tough, outspoken, informed and determined to stick up for the little guy!”

Mr. Bonnell is currently the City Editor at the Ottawa Citizen, and has held various newsroom roles across the organization, including Senior Editor at Postmedia News and Managing Editor of national news and sports for Postmedia Editorial Services. He has worked in newsrooms across the country, including The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, the Halifax Daily News and the Calgary Herald.

“Keith has thrived in editorial leadership roles at Postmedia,” said Lou Clancy, Senior Vice President Content, Postmedia. “We are excited to see the innovative insight he will bring to his new role as Editor of the Ottawa Sun.”
