The role will see her lead the managerial direction of The Examiner and Advocate businesses as well as sites in regional Victoria.
Buesnel said she was looking forward to spending time in Launceston, meeting staff and community members and getting an understanding of local issues.
Buesnel started her career in the publishing industry almost 25 years ago and has had significant experience as a general manager in regional areas.
She has worked at Orange in the Central West of NSW before being appointed to a general management position in Gympie, Queensland.
For the past 16 years she has been based at Port Macquarie on the NSW North Coast as a regional manager and has overseen Fairfax mastheads and websites.
Buesnel replaces former Fairfax Tasmania general manager Phil Leersen who left the business on October 3 to take up a position with the Australian Maritime College.
