How Semafor is redefining the head of video role

As Semafor’s head of video, Adam Banicki sits at the intersection of the newsroom and the commercial team, reporting to the editor-in-chief with a dotted line to the revenue side.

Semafor had a head of video prior to Adam Banicki's appointment this summer. However, the role has evolved since Banicki took over. Banicki's position now bridges both the editorial and business aspects of Semafor. "I really enjoy my job, where I get to discuss everything happening in the newsroom with Ben [Smith, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Semafor] every day," Banicki shared during a live recording of the Digiday Podcast on September 16 at the Digiday Publishing Summit in Key Biscayne, Florida.
