Just saw this on the AllMediaScotland newly-launched Tweet Service – apparently Charles McGhee has departed from The Herald, leaving the paper without an editor the week before the Glasgow East byelection.
More news as I hear it…no doubt some people will be sad at this, while some will be rejoicing. What isn’t known as of yet is why he left.
UPDATE
UPDATE: Hold the Front Page has tweeted and put up more info on this page, complete with statement.
UPDATE 2: The Guardian has weighed in, again with the suggestion that McGhee left because of the ongoing cuts, which may or may not be the case, but it seems strange to me that he leaves right after the last round of redundancies (which I hear saw some staff rejected, despite their pleas to leave) unless he was told that there was going to be another round of cuts right away.
