Eleanor Keymer has been promoted within IHS Publications to features editor of Jane's Defence Weekly. She was previously armed forces editor and editor of Jane's World Armies, Jane's World Navies and Jane's World Air Forces.

"My new job involves writing features on various aspects of the defence world as well as commissioning articles, proofing copy and helping to ensure the magazine is delivered to the printers in a timely manner each week" she told Journalism.co.uk.

Keymer joined IHS shortly after completing an NCTJ course at City University London. Her first role with the company was content editor, from which she was appointed armed forces desk editor.

Her advice to anyone wanting to work as a features editor is: "Stuff your CV with as much writing, editing and  commissioning experience as possible and build good relationships with key people within your industry."
