Take note everybody, because I’m sure you all monitor these things, Billboard has named one Isabel Gonzalez Whitaker as its new Deputy Editor. Which I guess means it’s all-change for ex dep-ed Yinka Adegoke, despite the fact that he is, weirdly, still listed as holding the post he first took in 2012.

The latest in a series of staff changes at the US music industry trade mag, Gonzalez Whitaker is a former features editor at InStyle and has in the past written for The New York Times, acted as editor-in-chief of Tu Vida, and worked at Teen People and Atlanta CityMag.

Recently appointed Billboard Editor-In-Chief Tony Gervinho says: “Throughout her career, Isabel has shown an impressive ability to create and manage dynamic, commercial content for print, online, mobile, and video. Her reporting and editing background in fashion, beauty, and culture, along with her relationships with leading writers, will help expand Billboard’s audience. We are thrilled to welcome her to the team”.

Gonzalez Whitaker herself adds: “The opportunity to join Tony and everyone at Billboard was simply too exciting to pass up. I can’t wait to get on board and continue building Billboard’s legacy as the most authoritative music brand in the world”.
