The News of the World has promoted Joely Carey, currently Deputy Editor of Fabulous, to Editorial Director of the magazine. 



Joely, a highly accomplished women's magazine journalist, joined Fabulous in 2009 from Love it! where she was previously acting editor. 



In another promotion, Rachel Richardson, Digital Editor of the News of the World, is appointed editor of Fabulous which is published free with Britain's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper.



Before her digital role, Rachel, 31, was Associate and then Executive Editor of Fabulous. She replaces Sally Eyden who is leaving to join Now magazine.



News of the World Editor Colin Myler said: "These key appointments and the new management structure reflect the success of Fabulous and its enormous value to the company. This is the dream team for Fabulous. Joely has the strategic vision, experience and ideas to ensure the title maximises its full editorial and commercial potential.



"Rachel will bring enormous energy, skill and creativity. Together, I’m sure they will build on Sally's brilliant work and drive the title to even greater heights."



Joely said: "Over the past three years Fabulous has proven itself a real contender in the magazine marketplace. Week on week it has showcased agenda-setting exclusives and ground-breaking photo-shoots making it a runaway success both editorially and commercially. I’m delighted to have been given the opportunity to lead its highly creative team to build on this - in what is sure to be an exciting future."



Rachel said: "Leading the digital team has been a fantastic experience, especially the launch of the paid-for site and our number one-rated iPad app, but Fabulous is my spiritual home and I’m hugely thrilled to return."
