Directorate Change
DMGT, the consumer media and business information group, today announces that
Paul Dacre has been appointed Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Associated
Newspapers with effect from 1 October 2018. After 28 years as an editor, Paul
has decided to step back from day to day editorial responsibilities in November
2018.
Paul's appointment is being announced now to facilitate handover to the new
editor of the Daily Mail, who will be named in due course. Paul will also step
down as a Board Director of DMGT prior to the end of the financial year.
Lord Rothermere, Chairman of DMGT, said: "I would like to put on record my and
DMGT's gratitude to Paul Dacre for his brilliant stewardship of the Mail and
other titles within the Group over three decades.
Paul is, quite simply, the greatest Fleet Street Editor of his generation not
only for his huge circulation successes on both the Mail and Standard but also
for the sheer power of his many campaigns, investigations and crusades that
have held power to account, given a voice to the voiceless and often set the
political agenda through six prime ministerships. He has done this while
working tirelessly to defend press freedom to the benefit of our whole
industry.
I am absolutely delighted that Paul has agreed to continue to stay on after his
70th birthday as Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Associated Newspapers in
addition to advising me and taking on other broader responsibilities in the
company at a time of profound upheaval in the media landscape."
