UK: Editor to head two Newsquest titles
Posted by Rosemary D'Amour on December 3, 2008 at 1:01 PM
Newsquest has appointed Glasgow Evening Times editor Donald Martin to the post of editor-in-chief of both the Herald and Sunday Herald.
The cross-title job reflects "the changing nature of the media industry where complementary digital and print output and economic pressures require the competitive strength that comes from teamwork across titles," Newsquest said in a statement.
Martin is taking over the titles during a period of falling circulation year by year, according to the monthly national newspaper report by ABC.
Martin said he was committed to "ensuring that the Herald, Evening Times and the Sunday Herald along with [their] digital products are strong, vibrant Scottish brands which reflect and appeal to the communities that [they] serve."
