Announcing the decision this morning, Andrew Neil, chief executive of the
Spectator said: “Matthew is a friend and colleague whose work I have long admired. I am delighted he has accepted the editorship of
The Specator.
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.”
