Stuff has appointed prominent journalist Lloyd Burr to the newly created position of Head of News for its website, commencing July 13. Burr, previously the explainer editor known for long-form reporting and political expertise, will initially serve a three-month secondment. Reporting to editor-in-chief Keith Lynch, he will be responsible for driving the daily news agenda, leading editorial teams, and producing high-impact journalism. This leadership role represents a significant shift from Burr's previous work, which included an investigation into government spending on overseas tech companies. His appointment follows other recent high-profile changes at Stuff, including Matthew Hooton's new role as editor-in-chief of The Post and Sunday Star-Times. Questions remain regarding Burr's continued reporting duties and the future of his popular web series, BYO.
