21st Century Fox on Tuesday said it has tapped former journalist Jonathan Bing for the newly created role of senior VP, corporate communications.
Bing will oversee communications and media relations for the Fox Networks Group and its vast array of domestic and international cable channels, with the exception of Fox News and Fox Business Network.
Bing takes on the duties previously handled by Scott Grogin, who is leaving the company at the end of the year.
"Jonathan is an incredibly accomplished communications executive who brings to Fox Networks Group a keen understanding of our industry through his work representing and advising key stakeholders," said FNG chairman and CEO Peter Rice, in a statement. “We are confident he will be a strategic and energetic voice for our businesses as well as a valuable partner for FNG’s brands and networks."
Bing, a former reporter and editor for Daily Variety, where he worked from 2000 to 2006, was most recently running his own PR boutique agency, Bing Communications Group, catering to the entertainment and technology sectors as well as trade associations.
Before that he ran the Los Angeles office of U.K.-based Freud Communications from 2006 to 2010.
