The Independent has appointed Chris Anthony as President of North America, marking what the company describes as a new phase of growth. Anthony joins from Gallery Media Group, where he serves as chief revenue officer. Multiple reports describe his move as part of the digital news brand’s broader expansion plans across the region.
According to the coverage, Anthony’s remit includes growing the publication’s lifestyle-focused verticals and developing creator-led journalism. The company also points to expanding its events program as part of its strategy. The appointment is presented as a step toward scaling reach and revenue in North America, drawing on Anthony’s experience from the social-led publisher environment.
While the outlets vary slightly in wording, they align on the core details: the Independent names Anthony as its North America president; he previously held a senior revenue role at Gallery Media Group; and the company frames the hire as supporting expansion in content, creators, and related offerings such as events.
