Reach’s youngest ever editor at 23 has said she can use her age to her advantage as she is “closer to the zeitgeist” and “not bound by traditional methods of journalism” – but she wants her work to speak for itself.

Abigail Rabbett, currently audience editor for Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, will edit Reach’s Norfolk Live and Suffolk Live sites which are set to launch later this summer.

Recruitment is ongoing but she expects to manage approximately one content editor and two reporters on each site, with a number of other roles yet to be announced. Reach is currently advertising for a reporter and a trend writer.
