Touchline Media is still interviewing candidates for the Men's Health editor post.

Jason Brown, Men's Health group editorial director, says, "I am confident that under Cooke's editorship Men's Health Living will continue its amazing growth. This unique product has sparked worldwide interest and Cooke takes over at an exciting time for the brand."

Cooke's experience includes being Men's Health deputy editor for more than four years and most recently as division head of the Editorial Excellence department launched by Touchline Media last year.

Cooke began his journalistic career as a reporter for The Star newspaper in 1995. Then, after gaining magazine experience at You and Drum, he was appointed as associate editor at GQ magazine before eventually joining the Touchline Media group as managing editor of Men's Health and then subsequently deputy editor.
