CLB Media director, editorial and production Jackie Roth is no longer with the company, following the sale of the majority of its publications to Thomson Reuters and Annex Publishing.

Roth had been with the company for 33 years, starting her career fresh out of school with Clifford Elliot Ltd., which was purchased by CLB Media in 2001. “Over the course of the past four to five years I have asked Jackie to wear a lot of hats, she has been extremely adaptable and flexible,” says vice-president Niel Hiscox. “She was a huge help in things I was trying to do here.” Roth has launched a freelance corporate communications, copywriting and content marketing site at Rothjohn.com.

Page One Publishing has announced Brian Hartz is joining the team as associate editor of its trade publications. Hartz is the former editor of Bakers Journal and has also worked for publications in New Zealand and Indiana.
