Gotion appoints Head of Global Public Relations

Vero has entered into a partnership with the Centre for Journalism and Trauma Asia Pacific (CJT), under which the agency will provide pro bono communications and implementation support for CJT’s “Not Alone. Not Silenced” campaign.

The campaign aims to support journalists in managing online hate speech, cyberbullying, and threats through a 10-month fellowship programme, including webinars, in-person workshops, and remote mentorship.

“Journalists today are working under increasing pressure, both professionally and emotionally,” said Nitikarn Ladasathean, Media Relations Director at Vero in Thailand. “Through this collaboration with the Centre for Journalism and Trauma Asia Pacific, Vero aims to contribute to a more sustainable media ecosystem by supporting journalists beyond just the stories they produce.”

Jennifer Durante has commenced a new chapter as Head of Communications at SpinalCure Australia. She continues her career in the not-for-profit space after almost a decade at Melanoma Institute Australia, most recently as Director, Community & Engagement.

Backed by over 30 years' experience, Jennifer started her career in journalism before swapping to comms. She's spent two decades operating her own communications consultancy and has served clients across various sectors, including government, health, and construction.

Jennifer said: “I am delighted to join the SpinalCure Australia team at a pivotal time for the groundbreaking Australian-led research into finding a cure for spinal cord injuries.

“Raising community, government and philanthropic awareness about this critical area of medical and scientific research, as well as the extraordinary vision of SpinalCure Australia which is fuelling this research, will help change the future for those with spinal cord injuries.”
