Rogers spent five years working in PR at the start of his career – at the then Paragon Communications – before stints reporting for both PRWeek and Marketing.
He said: ‘PR is much maligned but is increasingly critical to both business and government. It is a fascinating sector full of talented and charismatic people, which should always create lively copy.’
Rogers succeeds outgoing executive editor Gidon Freeman, who is leaving the magazine after five years to join independent public and corporate affairs consultancy Lexington Communications as a senior consultant.
