Matthew d’Ancona has been appointed editor of The Spectator, leaving his current position as deputy editor of the Sunday Telegraph to take up the position at the end of the month.
Neil continued: “The list of candidates was the strongest I have ever seen for an editorship; many were well qualified for the job, but we concluded that Matthew was the best qualified to build on the superb legacy of Boris Johnson.”
d’Ancona added: “Under my editorship, I want The Spectator to adapt its fine traditions as a course of superb writing, news exclusives and wit to a new and exciting political landscape. It will be modern, free-thinking and indispensable.”
