Reported from BBC news: "Richard Wallace has been named the new editor of the British Daily Mirror, following the recent departure of Piers Morgan. Wallace, 43, currently deputy editor of the Sunday Mirror, will take up his new position with immediate effect. Morgan was sacked after publishing photographs - later shown to be fakes - that purported to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. Des Kelly, acting editor of the Daily Mirror for the past five weeks, is leaving the company. Wallace is a former showbusiness editor, US editor and head of news at the Daily Mirror, and has also held reporting roles on the Daily Mail and the Sun. He has been acting Sunday editor for the past four months while editor Tina Weaver is on maternity leave."
