“I am honoured to have this opportunity to work with The Walrus,” Jonathan Kay said. “In the coming months, I look forward to collaborating with the magazine’s staff to help make the publication’s renowned content widely read on a wider range of platforms, and to infuse into the Walrus Foundation some of the energy that has characterized the National Post during the sixteen wonderful years that I worked there.”

There will be a transition period of several weeks before Kay officially takes the helm on Dec. 1. The Walrus Foundation’s official title for Kay is editor-in-chief, content platforms. The magazine is published 10 times a year in print, tablet and mobile editions.
