Friday 22nd June 2012
was the last day of Krissi Murison's Editorship at the NME. This is a picture from her leaving 'Do'. The magazine always make a spoof cover for leaving presents.
Krissi was appointed in 2009, she
became the first female editor the NME. Previously Krissi had worked for the
title as a journalist and then for a brief period taken a position at Nylon
Magazine. Her passion knowledge and charisma all made her the ideal choice to
become the New Editor when Conor McNicholas the former Editor left.
Whilst at the helm
Krissi commissioned many inspirational features none more controversial than a
Christmas Simon Cowell story. This was a great subversive moment that devided
opinion, created debate and generally stirred things up.
Dean Says "Krissi
is first and foremost a lovely individual, a person who truly cares about
music. She is not frightened stick her hand in the hornet’s nest if it means
pulling out a good story. She kept the NME at the cutting edge of things as
well as reflecting the heritage of the music world. So good luck Krissi in your
next job it was an absolute pleasure working with you."
Krissi will join The
Sunday Times Magazine as Features Editor. The new Editor of the NME will be
Mike Williams he has been Deputy Editor since July 2011 perfectly positioned to
get stuck in and take the magazine into the future.
