Emap has appointed Julian Linley, currently editor of its women's weekly First, as editor of the first website for Heat magazine, which will launch next year.

As revealed in Media Week (21-28 November) Heat's website is currently under development, with Heat editor-in-chief Mark Frith and Rebekah Billingsley, digital business director for Emap Entertainment, supervising the project.
Linley is a former deputy editor of Heat magazine. In his new role he will report to Frith.

Celebrity weekly rival Now, published by IPC Media, launched a website in August, at nowmagazine.co.uk.
Meanwhile, with signs that First, launched earlier this year, is struggling to find a market, Emap has brought in Closer editor Jane Johnson to replace Linley.
Johnson will become editorial director of First on a six month secondment and search for an editor to replace Linley during that time.
Closer deputy editor Lisa Burrow moves up to acting editor in Johnson's absence.
