Now a gaggle of Mirror editors are arrested in Met Police phone hacking probe

Now a gaggle of Mirror editors are arrested in Met Police phone hacking probe

By Stuart Smith on March 14, 2013

Whatever took them so long? Plod has finally pounced on four miscreant Mirror Group journalists in a dawn raid conducted by the Weeting (phone hacking) team. And what a haul it has proved to be. The four include the first serving editor to be arrested: James Scott of the Sunday People. Better known is one [...]

Were sacked Mirror editors plotting a takeover?

Were sacked Mirror editors plotting a takeover?

By Stephen Foster on June 1, 2012

Sacked Mirror editors Richard Wallace (Daily) and Tina Weaver (Sunday) were plotting a buyout of their employer Trinity Mirror’s national titles before they were unceremoniously given the boot on Wednesday, according to the Telegraph’s media editor Katherine Rushton. It’s not clear from Rushton’s story, which was rubbished this morning by former Mirror editor Roy Greenslade [...]

The real victim of the carnage at the Mirror newspapers is the brand

By Stuart Smith on May 31, 2012

The Rabelaisian guffawing in The Mirror’s newsroom when Trinity Mirror’s chief executive announced her unlamented departure is now reduced to a sullen whisper. Who will be next, the hacks timorously wonder as they survey the seismic damage caused by this morning’s fresh round of top level sackings? Out, in short order, have gone Richard Wallace, [...]

Morning of the long knives at the Mirror as new boss Grigson dumps editors Wallace and Weaver

Morning of the long knives at the Mirror as new boss Grigson dumps editors Wallace and Weaver

By Stephen Foster on May 30, 2012

A month ago we asked if anyone still needed Trinity Mirror, publisher of the Daily and Sunday Mirror, the (Sunday) People and a gaggle of regional titles. This was in the wake of Sly Bailey’s removal as CEO when shareholders jibbed at paying her £1.7m a year to run a company whose value had declined [...]

As boss Sly Bailey quits in pay row – does anyone still need Trinity Mirror?

By Stephen Foster on May 4, 2012

Sly Bailey, Sylvia as was, has quit her job as CEO of Trinity Mirror, publisher of the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and People plus a collection of local papers in an argument with shareholders over her £1.7m pay package. Bailey, a former IPC Magazines boss before she took over at the Mirror in 2003, faced [...]

'Boring and bland' but Murdoch's new Sun on Sunday sells three million, pulls in the ads

‘Boring and bland’ but Murdoch’s new Sun on Sunday sells three million, pulls in the ads

By Stephen Foster on February 27, 2012

Job done really as Rupert Murdoch’s hastily-launched seventh-day Sun sold out in many locations yesterday and pulled in an impressive list of advertisers, not all of the from WPP’s GroupM, his biggest ally in the business of re-establishing News Corp’s UK newspaper revenues and profits. And here’s the old boy himself (and Sun editor Dominic [...]

News International reviews £28m ad account – does this mean a Sun on Sunday is finally on the way?

By Stephen Foster on January 26, 2012

It’s pretty hard to think of any UK company that’s been as deep in the mire as News International, the News Corporation-owned company that published the recently-extinguished phone-hacking News of the World. But News is reviewing its £28m account according to Campaign, suggesting that the ever-combative company has decided that sitting in the corner and [...]

Could boss Sly Bailey be on her way out at ever-declining Trinity Mirror?

Could boss Sly Bailey be on her way out at ever-declining Trinity Mirror?

By Stephen Foster on December 21, 2011

The Financial Times seems to think so, judging by an apparently well-sourced report that describes shareholder unrest at the UK national and regional newspaper company. UK newspapers, even posh ones that write about business such as the FT, don’t usually speculate aloud about the prospects of key executives in their own industry but the News [...]

UK’s Mail on Sunday fails to cash in on News of the World demise

By Stephen Foster on September 12, 2011

This weekend’s Mail on Sunday trumpeted its status as the UK’s top selling Sunday newspaper with just over 2m sales but that must be a crushing disappointment to Associated Newspaper executives who saw MoS sales briefly hit 2.4m in the immediate aftermath of the closure of News international’s News of the World. The NoW was [...]

Will the News of the World save Mirror publisher?

Will the News of the World save Mirror publisher?

By Stephen Foster on August 12, 2011

Rupert Murdoch isn’t a very happy bunny at the moment although he can console himself with the thought that things could be much worse (they still might be). But what the News Corporation boss probably hates the most is that his decision to close the News of the World in the wake of the phone [...]
