Alex Dodd has been appointed editor of the Mail & Guardian’s Friday section.
A BJourn graduate, she began her career as a trainee at the M&G, and later become a reporter focusing on arts and profiles.
She then worked for the Rapid Phase Group, where she co-conceptualised and scripted a 60-part radio soap opera on primary health care.
She joined Cosmopolitan magazine next and was later appointed its Johannesburg bureau chief.
Back at the M&G she plans to feed her passion – and, more importantly, our readers’ passion – for arts and pop culture.
