McGhee resigns as editor of The Herald
Newsquest Scotland has announced that Charles McGhee, editor of The Herald has resigned this morning.
McGhee has been editor of the daily Glasgow broadsheet for two and a half years, having been with Newsquest Herald & Times Group for ten years. He was previously editor of its sister paper The Evening Times.
McGhee said; "It has been a tremendous challenge to have worked on all three titles in the group, helping to launch one and editing the two others. In particular, it has been a privilege to edit The Herald, now celebrating its 225th year as Scotland's leading quality daily newspaper, and to work with some of the country's finest journalists during a period of great transformational change in print and online publishing.
"I remain passionate and optimistic about the role of newspapers in the multimedia age and I would now like to apply the experience I have gained over 30 years to some of the broader challenges within the media sector, both nationally and internationally."
Tim Blott, managing director of the Herald and Times Group said: "Charles has been a tremendous editor and ambassador for the company. I thank him for all he has done for us and wish him every success in the future."
Blott continued; "We will appoint a successor in due course."
