 Morse
McIlheney was hired by the company’s consultant editor James Brown.
Morse, a former news editor of the Daily Record in Scotland, resigned as editor of the Cambridge paper in April, a decision which led to staff at the paper passing a vote of ‘no confidence’ in management after his departure.

The two papers were relaunched in April this year accompanied by a £1m plus promotional campaign but sales have continued to slip at the titles. The Sunday paper’s ABC for June showed a year on year decline of almost 20% with the daily dropping by over 10%.
It is believed that Morse intends to adopt more of a news-led direction for the papers than the more recent drift towards features, reflecting Morse’s news background in contrast to McIlheney’s twenty odd years in magazines with EMAP. Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
