Daily Hive welcomes new EIC

Last month, longtime editor-in-chief and one of the first staff members of the Daily Hive, Farhan Mohamed, announced he would step down from his role to focus on his family and personal life. The Vancouver-based media company has since picked the next leader for its newsroom. Darcy Matheson will become the new EIC following the end of her maternity leave in the fall. She began as a contributor to the Daily Hive in 2014 and, in 2018, joined full-time as its Vancouver City editor. Daily Hive currently sees 6.5 million unique visitors per month across the seven major markets in which it operates.
